According to residents of the community, the incident occurred around 7 pm on Monday when residents were going about their normal activities but could not report the incident due to poor communication network in the area.

 

A youth leader in the area, Sahpi’i Sambo, who confirmed the incident to our correspondent, said the bandits arrived at the community on motorcycles with sophisticated weapons and started shooting sporadically at everyone on sight.

He also said, “More than 40 people were killed while many others were injured” in the attack.
