“This is a remote village, and as far as we are concerned, they only came to wipe the community completely with the way they killed and set people’s bodies on fire,” he stated.
The survivor pleaded for immediate intervention from Governor Uba Sani. He appealed for additional security personnel deployment to the area, emphasising the critical need for food supplies to alleviate the suffering of the traumatized villagers. #Kaduna
