A former chairman of the local government, Cafra Caino, confirmed the fresh attack to our correspondent on Saturday.
According to him, the attackers invaded the village around 5.45am on Saturday in large numbers, shooting indiscriminately.
Caino said, “We are yet to get the number of casualties because the locals ran for their lives at the time the assailants invaded the community.
