According to reports from residents, the assailants armed with AK 47 riffles invaded the village, shooting in the air to scare away people before burning an abandoned motorcycle and some houses.

 

 

 

 

 

A total of two schools, Kapkechir and Karne primaries were affected during the incident, where candidates had to flee for their lives.

 

 

 

 

 

“They then dashed straight to try and vandalize a stone-built house which some residents had locked themselves inside, with an intention of shooting dead all of them but luckily, police arrived before they managed, forcing them to run away”, Byumba Kumi elder John Wendot said.

 

 

 

Tension is now high in the area as frightened residents have began fleeing the volatile zone.
