A 15-year-old boy, Teghtegh Nor, was injured in Ikyoawen. He, however, managed to escape with the help of his father, who took him to the hospital, the Nation reports.

A community leader, Chief Adom Unande, said the herdsmen took over houses in the villages and stole foodstuff.

He said the teenager and his father went back to their compound to get foodstuff to feed others who are displaced when he was shot.

Unande said: "On getting there, they saw herdsmen with pickup van stealing their yams, millet and beans. The herdsman on guard opened fire on sighting Teghtegh before they drove away with the foodstuff.

"His father took him to the clinic where he is being treated."
