“Because most of the residents deserted their homes in Kurmin Masara, the attackers decided to attack Atisa, a nearby settlement of the same Kurmin Masara axis.”
The Youth Leader of Atyap Chiefdom, Gabriel Joseph, raised the alarm that the gunmen had the agenda of wiping them out.
He called on the government to take serious action to defend and protect citizens and their properties.
Confirming the incident in a press statement, the Chairman of Zangon Kataf Local Government, Francis Sani, said the government would not relent until peace was restored and the perpetrators fished out.
