One of the residents in the area told Newsflash Nigeria that the gunmen unleashed attacks on the hospital resulting in the death of two persons.
“They arrived in large numbers and were shooting sporadically, which sent fear into the people during the period of their operation.
“At the end of the operation, many people were abducted and some wounded,” he stated.
