He said from the movement of the invaders, it was suspected that they came for a particular target, but got enraged when they could not find their target.
Usman stated that the sound of the gunshots threw the entire community into pandemonium, affirming that he saw three persons with bullet wounds lying on the ground after the gunmen had left.
“The victims were taken to a clinic at Lokogoma village in Nasarawa State,” he added.
