37 Victims Of Kaura, Kaduna Attack Buried Amidst Wailing

It was a sad day in Malagum and Sokwong communities, Kaura Local Government Area of Kaduna State, on Friday as hundreds of villagers came together to bury victims of an attack in the area earlier in the week.

They were killed on Sunday by a suspected militia group.

People who gathered for the funeral service including relations, religious leaders, and politicians called on the government and security agencies to stop the attacks before they are totally wiped out.

During the funeral service, church authorities denounced the attack, noting that the government must do better to protect citizens.

This particular assault, which took place on Sunday and was carried out by armed men suspected to be militia herders, was undertaken in a coordinated manner on the two communities.

Asides from the deaths, several others were injured in the attack. The assailants also burnt down several houses, farmlands, and other valuables.
