The terrorists were also said to have burnt a lot of farmlands belonging to the residents of the village during their early morning operation that took hours.

An eyewitness told the media that the terrorists, armed with weapons, arrived in the village on motorcycles and started shooting sporadically in the air to disperse the residents.

He explained that security operatives were already on top of the situation as the Commissioner of Police in the state, Idris Dauda Dabban, led a team of security operatives including himself to the village for an on-the-spot assessment of the incident.

“Yes, it’s true, the incident happened. The bandits were at the village this Tuesday morning and killed twelve villagers,” Isah said.

“Some of those killed included those attempting to escape to their farmlands.
