The attack, which occurred under the cover of darkness, has left residents in shock and fear.
Counterterrorism expert Zagazola Makama shared details of the incident on Sunday through his X social media account.
According to Makama, intelligence sources revealed that the attackers entered the village late at night, firing gunshots to intimidate and overpower the community.

A local resident who spoke with DAILY POST described the attack as horrifying, stating, “The attackers moved swiftly, rounding up their victims and retreating into the nearby forest. It was a terrifying experience,” a resident said.
“They took women and children, and an elderly man was killed in cold blood,” the security expert said.
