Hudu Kwasakwasa, a leader in the community, who confirmed the incident to journalists, said the bandits opened fire on the worshipers around 2 pm during the Friday prayers.

According to him; “The two worshipers killed were among other Muslims attacked at the Juma’at Mosque in Angwar Makera when the bandits opened fire on them and abducted others today.

He added that the people were in the second raka’at of the salat when they were attacked, which forced the remaining people to run for their lives.
