Some residents of the area said they were praying earnestly while the gunshots were being fired.
Koiki warned that if the security agents did not leave his boss alone, it might be the beginning of the problem that the government was waiting for.
Koiki said, “The gunmen came exactly 1.30 am. They attempted to enter the house but they were resisted. I cannot confirm the number of those who came. But, they came and they were resisted.
