An attack by the 400 Mawozo gang left at least 8 dead in Pernier, proof of the ineffectiveness of kamikaze drone operations

Armed men continue to sow terror in the country. At least 8 people were killed in the Kébo area, between Pernier and Route de Frères, during an assault led by heavily armed men yesterday, Monday, June 2. This act is believed to be the work of the 400 Mawozo gang, according to information gathered.

Several testimonies from residents in the area report that the assailants intervened as reinforcements for gang leader VitelHomme Innocent, who was recently “injured” during an operation targeting his group. The assailants also set fire to several homes, plunging the population into panic and mourning.

As of this Tuesday, June 3, no official statement has yet been published by the authorities regarding this carnage, the circumstances of which remain unclear. However, these acts fall within the pattern of bandit activities that continue to terrorize the population.

This new massacre highlights, once again, the persistent vulnerability of residents in the metropolitan area, left to uncontrolled armed violence. Calls for help are multiplying, while the state struggles to re-establish its authority over areas increasingly controlled by criminal groups.
