WOKHA, JUL 7 (NPN): A 96-year-old man from Longla village was allegedly robbed by two unidentified persons while walking alone to Wokha town on the morning of July 7.
The victim, identified as Ekyimo Ngullie, was reportedly on foot from Longla village when he was intercepted between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. along the forested stretch between the waiting shed and the prayer centre at Saron Colony.
According to family members, the assailants allegedly covered Ngullie’s face before taking away all the cash and important documents he was carrying. Despite the robbery, he did not sustain any physical injuries. The family said Ngullie was unable to identify the suspects as his face had been covered throughout the incident.

Police personnel accompanied the victim to the scene to inspect the area. Investigation into the incident is underway.
