While one party went straight to the Military Camp at the Junior Secondary School, about 500 meters outside of town, the other set up ambush on the main road leading into town.
According to our source, the third party made their way to the city to keep the vigilantes and youths from retaliating.
The soldiers ran out of ammunition and retreated after about two hours of gunfire between 4:00 and 6:00 a.m., according to the source.
The bandits raided the camp after the soldiers beat a hasty retreat, setting fire to military vehicles and fleeing with another, while also torching the camp’s food store.
