Eyewitnesses informed reporters that perpetrators entered the community by the hundreds, shooting indiscriminately at villagers as they tried to run to safety. The incident brought closure to schools, hospitals, and many businesses.

House of Assembly member representing Ketu Constituency, Wahab Haruna Abiodun, said that the attack was in retaliation for a visit from Sunday Igboho, an activist working to rid the community of killer herdsmen.

Governor Dapo Abiod condemned the violence. “We shall spare no action, including ruthless ones, to bring peace, public order into every hamlet, town and city in the Gateway State,” he stated.
