Reports have emerged of an ongoing armed assault in the Turan Community, specifically targeting the villages of Mbaigbe and Mbaitye within the Yaav Council Ward of Kwande Local Government Area (LGA). Eyewitnesses describe the assailants as heavily armed individuals who have encircled the villages and are actively engaging in gunfire.
Local sources confirm that two bodies have been discovered so far, with the death toll potentially rising as the situation unfolds. Residents are fleeing their homes in search of safety, and the nearby town of Jato Aka is reportedly under threat, raising concerns about the broader security of the region.
At this time, there has been no official response from security forces, and the attackers continue their operations unchallenged. The community is urgently appealing for immediate assistance to protect lives and property.
