Eyewitness accounts says the bandits stormed Maru town at about 8 p.m. local time, killing one person and abducting another, while at Dansadau, they invaded the town at 2:00 p.m. in broad daylight on Tuesday, and started shooting sporadically, killing no fewer than six persons.

The bandits were also said to have come on motorcycles in large numbers to attack the people at the Dansadau Motor Park and market, where they left four people with gunshot wounds.
