Reports indicate that the bandits, in their ruthless attack, not only claimed the lives of 12 villagers but also abducted three women during the horrifying episode. Yusuf Garba, a resident of the area, revealed that one of the abducted women lost her husband in the attack.
“Among the victims were one woman who was burnt to death along with her daughter-in-law and two children right inside their room,” Garba recounted, highlighting the brutality of the assault.
Following the attack, the perpetrators faced fierce resistance from the army, engaging in a violent confrontation. Garba suggested that the bandits likely suffered significant losses, noting bloodstains at the location where they left their motorcycles.
