The men in uniform are said to have attempted to demolish a structure being built on a disputed land.

But after meeting stiff resistance from the youth who claimed to be relatives of the owner and caretakers of the project, the supposed military officers fired gunshots, injuring four of them.

There is more in the following report:

Contractors were busy securing the land and rebuilding the structures that were destroyed by the alleged military men at the time of Citi News‘ visit.

The group of men who resisted their activity were readying themselves to have a feast of goat meat in what looked like a celebration of their successful resistance.

According to them, they are relatives to the owner of the land who is developing it into a commercial property.

They claim he has tasked them to take care of the land and oversee the construction process. They appeared angered by the actions of the supposed military officers, hours after the incident.
