“They randomly macheted them, causing serious head injuries. My son and the other victims are currently receiving treatment at the hospital. The hoodlums escaped. This is not the first time hoodlums have attacked the community, committing atrocities such as killings, phone snatching, and other crimes without consequences.’’

He urged security agencies, particularly the police and military, to be vigilant and ensure adequate security in the area.
