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.
“The community had, some time in 2019, come under heavy attack where 74 people were killed and the community recently has been experiencing attacks.”
