The attack is coming barely five days after an attack was launched in Malagum 1, killing three persons.

According to him, all the houses in Sokwong Community had been completely razed down by the terrorist, adding that he is yet to confirm the killings in Malagum 1.

Mathias urged residents in the area to remain calm as security agencies were being deployed to carry out investigations in the area.

Meanwhile, the Speaker of Kaura Local Government Area, Hon. Atuk Stephen said over 22 people had been confirmed killed in Malagum 1, while eight were said to have been killed in Sokwong.

Atuk described the killings as deadly while calling on the Federal Government and security agencies to redouble their efforts in order to curtail renewed killings in the area.

“Attacks in our area have been consistent and multi dimensional with efforts of the security operatives and government not seen or felt,” he added.
