The incident, which happened in the early hours of Tuesday, has thrown the community into tension, with residents demanding justice for the victims.
According to a community source, the elderly man had been accused by some kinsmen of being responsible for the recent death of a young man in the area. The accusation allegedly triggered the deadly attack, with the victims being targeted in their homes.
Chairman of Guma Local Government Area, David Manyi, has ordered a probe into the incident, assuring that the perpetrators will be brought to justice. “We will not tolerate any form of violence in our community,” he said.
The incident highlights the dangers of superstition and witchcraft allegations, which have led to numerous violent attacks and deaths in Nigeria. Would you like to know more about the efforts to address these issues or the reactions of the community
