The gunmen on arrival to the town had opened fire on
innocent citizens and set public buildings on fire.

Garba a resident of the area told Daily Trust: “The
terrorists stormed Shani in a convoy of over 20
motorcycles. Most of them carried assault rifles and
petrol bombs”.

proceeded to the town and only God knows the
mayhem they inflicted on the people,” he
told DailyTrust.
Nigerian Police and Army are yet to respond to
questions regarding the attack.
