However, the source explained to our correspondent that the violence further escalated to another town, Gwantu. “Some people were killed in Gwantu, and their corpses are being taken into the mortuary,” the officer disclosed.

He stated that soldiers arrested some of the gunmen who were seen with various kinds of ammunition similar to the weapons seized from some of the gunmen arrested after their earlier deadly attack on three villages.
