New Telegraph gathered that many houses were burnt down during the attack at Feyi community of Borgu Local Government Area.
Findings have it that the terrorists came into the community, raided and carted away many motorcycle from making any attempts to resist operations.
Sources noted that the operations started in the early hours of Friday when the attackers arrived at Feyi village, killing six persons, where they operated freely without security presence to challenge them.
The terrorists later moved to other communities identified as Tungan Makeri and Nkpaso villages, respectively, both in Konkoso Ward of Borgu local government area, in the early hours of Saturday, killing about twenty persons.
According to a source, the terrorists set the police station in Pissa ablaze but later took their heels upon hearing the hovering sound of a helicopter moving towards the direction after successfully carrying out their nefarious activities.
