Asked why they had to attack the police station and other areas, Vanguard was told by the eyewitness that, “The boys were shouting we owe the land. This is our land they must leave and we will rule our land by ourselves.”

The eyewitness went further to say: “They attacked the police station and all the police officers ran for their lives and hide somewhere until the boys finished operation.

“They went into the station did whatever they liked and collected some guns and left. They even injured some people. As I am talking to you nobody is around the area our people have ran away and abandoned their properties.
