Two of the bandits were killed during the retaliatory attack while four of them were arrested.

It is becoming obvious that this will soon be the trend because people are tired and no longer afraid,” a resident, Basharu Altine, said.He said when the bandits attacked the community, they kidnapped two residents whom they later killed. “After the efforts made by our vigilante members and security agents to save some of those kidnapped, the bandits sent a message to the people that those two residents with them would be killed and that no matter how much we offer them, they would not accept. And they went ahead to kill the two people,” he said.Mr Madi said a team of vigilante members and police officers was dispatched into the forest. They killed two of the gunmen and apprehended four others, he said.
