In the same vein, the local vigilante group said it has arrested three people suspected to be perpetrators of the crime.

Numa Kochu elder, Danjo John said the suspects were arrested after being given a chase immediately they perpetrated their evils.

He said: “I got a call from the community after the incident when I got there. The persons were already arrested by the people of the community. They told me they came and were shooting guns.

“Immediately they saw the people they started running to the bush. The people pursued them and caught them there. Now we are trying to see if we can go into the bush to get their guns.''
