Members of the lslamic society alleged that the traditional worshippers stormed the area to disrupt a programme that was going on and later started shooting, killing one person in the process and injuring others while some vehicles and other properties were vandalised.
According to them. the victim that was shot during the attack died on his way to the hospital while others who sustained various degrees of injuries were taken to the state hospital.
Members of the Islamic group informed that this is not the first time that this is happening, just as they recalled that a similar incident happened in 2004.
