According to the district head, “This is simply a case of planned assassination because they first went to only the victim’s house, killed him and left the community. They did not take anything in his house, neither did they attack the guard and his wife.

“’The other village that was attacked, no casualties recorded. They just caused commotion and fled. We feel they just did that to make it look like an attack”, he added.
