The Bungundu emir is considered of a higher rank than the traditional ruler of Gada who was killed in the Wednesday attack.
Residents said the gunmen operated for about four hours, killing, maiming, and raping women at will.
They said the bandits set fire on the foodstuff and vehicles parked in the palace of the traditional ruler.
The attacks have continued despite the heavy deployment of security operatives to the area.
