A source close to the community revealed that the assailants stormed the community in the early hours of Saturday morning at a time the residents were still in bed.

LEADERSHIP gathered that the attackers fired sporadically into the air to signal their arrival.

A resident of the area who identified himself simply as David told newsmen that the gunmen targeted a home where a father, his wife, a child, and two other relatives were residing.

On getting to the victims’ residence, the assailants reportedly shot the family members at close range to ensure their deaths.

One of the victims, Mrs. Tabitha Yusuf, was killed while others who were shot managed to escape while some sustained varying degrees of gunshot wounds.
