Several other villagers suffered gunshot wounds from the assault on Sunday. The deadly raid came after rival gangs battled over stolen property.
A bandit leader called Uban Gora stopped a Golf car traveling from Dansadau on Saturday. He robbed the vehicle and took money from people inside near Magami District. Criminal groups from the eastern part of Tofa village became angry about this theft. They confronted Uban Gora and shot him dead during their argument. His death sparked revenge attacks against the entire community.
Uban Gora's gang members gathered weapons and planned to strike back at the village. They waited until Sunday night to launch their assault on sleeping families.
