Unknown gunmen attacked Holma village in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa Sunday night, killing two people and injuring one.

Locals say that the attackers also burnt ”more than 20 houses and foodstuff”.

The situation is now calm with the deployment of security personnel which comprise soldiers, the police, civil defense, and local hunters.

The chairman, transition committee, Hong local government, Usman Waganda, has visited the village to sympathise with the victims.

He said security operatives have been directed to fish out the perpetrators.

“The local government will bring urgent relief materials to the victims to cushion their hardship,” he said.

“Everybody should sleep with one eye open, each community of the local government is to form vigilante groups so that they can assist security personnel in the maintenance of law and order,” he said.
