An eyewitness disclosed that the attackers stormed the village in the night in their numbers.

He explained that, “One hardly understands the rationale behind these organised attacks and killings that have become the order of the day in Atyap land.

“Most worrisome is the inability of those in authority, both at the federal and the state levels to take concrete steps to bring an end to the attacks.”
