The attackers set fire to the local market and homes. Police confirmed the death toll, while some residents and the Catholic Church reported higher numbers, with some accounts suggesting over 40 fatalities. Residents expressed fear and noted the absence of security forces during the hours-long raid, which occurred near a site of a previous mass school abduction. This incident is part of ongoing violence in the region.
