ECO Bank, Unity Bank, and First Bank branches in the town as well as other public buildings, including a police station were attacked and bombed midnight . The heavily armed men arrived in unmarked vehicles and set the police station on fire after a two-hour long gun battle with the police.
Sources who witnessed the attack said the bandits planted Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) that exploded  simultaneously in addition to sporadic gun shots.
Sources said the whole area was sealed by the unidentified gunmen whose number could not be ascertained because they came in the dark.  Several police officers and  some of the  bandits are believed to have died in the attack  which  lasted about two hours.
In October, 2012, bandits invaded the town killing some 20 worshippers leaving a  Mosque in an early morning raid in the area.
