“Fortunately, he scaled the fence and escaped. Infuriated by that, the insurgents slaughtered his two sons, aged 25 and 27 years and set their corpses and the house ablaze.

“They arrived around 1am and operated uninterrupted till 1:54am. The situation has caused a lot of panic among residents,” a family source privy to the tragic incident told newsmen.

A vigilante, who spoke in confidence with newsmen, said the insurgents, who carried out the attack, reside in the Buk and Talala area, about 30km east of Buni Yadi.

“As it is now, nobody dares go up to the Damboa axis. Everybody, including the military, are aware.

“It was the same area where they ambushed the military last month and killed the army commandant and an unspecified number of soldiers and vigilantes,” Daily Trust quoted hims as saying.

Residents in the Buni Yadi, neighbouring the home town of Governor Mai Mala Buni, said the situation has put many people in a state of serious panic.

“Now, people cannot sleep with their eyes closed, because with what is happening recently on the road and within the town, nowhere is safe,” one of the residents, Muhammad Garba, said
