According to report, from the area when the gunmen entered the village they started shooting sporadically.
Confirming the incident, former Counselor in the area, Mr Donatus Shemang said what happened that night was horrific.
“The attackers shoot sporadically in the process; they shot the boy who was around 7-9 years old. I spoke with his father and he told me that they all slept in the bush.
