The Agom Adara was abducted last week on his way to his palace in Kachia after attending an official function with the governor when his convoy was intercepted by the bandits who killed his police orderly and three other palace guards.
Reports of his killing has created tension in Kachia as youths have gathered around the palace to receive official confirmation of the death.
There is also a report of fresh crisis in Sabon Tasha with fears that the Kaduna state government might be forced to declare another round of curfew.
