Man shot dead while returning from farm

8 dead in an attack in Togo

Eight people were killed in cold blood after an attack on the village of Malgbangoun in northern Togo, according to reports.

According to several residents, “armed men entered a compound and killed eight people in cold blood as the incident occurred on Friday night”.

The owner of one house, who was sheltering displaced people fleeing insecurity in a neighboring village, was shot dead along with his guests.

This is the second time in less than two weeks that the village of Malgbangou has been attacked by armed groups.

A few days earlier, they had set fire to some stores before disappearing without causing any casualties.

In recent months, the region has become a hotbed of armed incursions, forcing many villagers to flee their homes to safer localities.

The number of internally displaced people continues to rise. As a result, fields have been abandoned, and farming activities have come to a complete standstill.
