Rotsu is a few kilometres away from Nkyie Doghwro where 29 people were killed earlier in the day, recorded such minimal casualty as the village had been deserted following series of attacks plaguing neighbouring communities in the past one week.

Though only a life was lost, but property worth millions were razed as many houses, some with food barns, were lost in the incident.
