Speaking further, Hassan explained that 19 people were killed while others escaped.<\/p>\n
He disclosed that military operatives later mobilized to the village to calm the situation, adding that the deceased were buried the same Wednesday according to Islamic tradition.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of the residents of the community including women and children ran to Dauran town in the local government area for safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody moved out of the community with anything due to the tension from the terrorists. People are afraid of returning to the village even though the military operatives have been positioned there,\u201d DAILY POST quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n
