The NNC informed that the two civilians were cooking food at the rest-place. The “federal Naga army” reached the same place as well and were preparing their food  when NSCN (IM) cadres came and attacked them. “Eno M. Sinoi Poh was killed at the spot but as reported by the villagers that the dead body of Eno M. Jopoh could not be traced out till date”, it alleged . The note also said that the second person ‘may have been taken away and killed at an unknown place’.

It added  that the NSCN (IM) continues to kill Nagas till today.
