A local source told our correspondent on telephone that the victims were returning from Oweto Market in Agatu when gunmen suddenly came out from a nearby bush and opened fire on them, killing 15 on the spot.

A former Vice Chairman of Agatu LG, John Ikwulono who confirmed the attack in a telephone interview with our correspondent, said the assailants ambushed the traders on Saturday evening when they were returning from Oweto Market.

According to Ikwulono, the herders also took the victims’ monies and belongings after killing them before fleeing into the surrounding bushes.
