It was reported that residents of ‘Yar Doka community had left their homes after a deadly attack by the armed men some months ago but were assaulted again just a day after they returned.
Another resident with the name Babangida said, “The bandits attacked the community and burnt their food stores. The residents had to take shelter in Magami. They decided to return but unknown to them, the armed criminals were planning to attack them again”.
“The assailants moved from one village to another. I saw injured residents being conveyed to a medical facility. The vigilantes known as ‘Yan Sakai had gone to Yar Doka community to repel the attack but were forced to return by the superior firepower of the attackers”.
