”The gunshots were too much, I was too afraid to know what was going on and before we know it they have killed two persons already including a police officer,” said the resident who identified himself simply as Labiran.
“This crisis has nothing to do with herdsmen because those who claimed to have seen them said they are not looking like northerners.”
Adewale Osifeso, the police spokesperson in the state, confirmed the attack.
He said the police have launched an investigation to unravel the reason behind the attack as well as arrest the attackers.
“Updates would be provided accordingly in due time,” he added.
