Residents were thrown into panic after the armed assailants reportedly stormed the villages in the early hours, killing some villagers and abducting others. Homes were attacked and residents forced to flee as the gunmen operated freely for hours.
Local sources said the attackers arrived in large numbers, firing sporadically to instill fear, before targeting homes and moving away with their captives. The exact number of those killed or kidnapped is yet to be confirmed.
The attacks have heightened insecurity in the area, with many residents now living in fear and calling on the government and security agencies to urgently intervene. Community leaders have appealed for increased security presence to prevent further violence and protect lives and property.
As of the time of filing this report, security agencies are yet to issue an official statement on the incident, while efforts are ongoing to track down the perpetrators and rescue the abducted villagers.
