He said two youths were gunned down by the assailants who equally engaged the military.
Omakwu, however, said calm had returned despite threats by the attackers who vowed to come back.
“From Friday, there has been calm and the military presence has increased. But we are still receiving threats from them (invaders). Two of our youths were killed on Thursday. On the point of their (invaders’) entry, they engaged those ones and the military too,” he added.
