Speaking to Eye Radio this afternoon, Werchum said the attackers fled the scene after the incident.

“The circumstances surrounding the attacks remain unknown. Security forces in the area were dispatched to calm the situation, conduct an investigation into this incident and identify the source from which these criminals are coming,” he said.
