The attack claimed the lives of five residents in the municipality. The victims included 77-year-old Nana Achinake Iddrisu, 24-year-old Fusheni Achinake, and 17-year-old Nuhu Achinake, who were attacked while working on their farm and burnt beyond recognition. In a separate incident, two more individuals were burnt, and another sustained serious cutlass wounds, while two houses were destroyed by fire.
