According to the police study, multiple suspects with gunshot wounds vanished into the darkness and are being pursued.

“A few other bandits who were lucky to escape the onslaught by a hair’s breadth, disappeared under the cover of darkness with gunshot wounds,” the police report said “Our officers are hot on their trail and have cast their nets wider, to local health centres and surrounding hospitals where the bandits are believed to be seeking medication to nurse their wounds,”

During the incident, two AK-47 rifles and 13 rounds of ammunition were recovered.
