The attack was said to have occurred at about 7:00 pm on Thursday as the assailants reportedly set the village ablaze, leaving the people to scamper to safety.

Channels Television gathered that the person killed was the younger brother of the village chief while one other person sustained injury from a machete cut on his left hand and his back.
