A community leader in Pushit, simply identified as John, said:

“So far, we have recovered twelve dead bodies of individuals who were brutally murdered during the attack in the Pushit community and their bodies recovered.”

Meanwhile, Marcus Artu, the transition committee chairman of Mangu, described the attack as a deliberate attempt by criminal elements to scuttle government efforts in resettling the displaced persons.
