“The bandits stormed our village on Tuesday around 4pm on several motorbikes brandishing AK47 riffles. Immediately they came, they started moving round the village, shooting sporadically. In the process, they came to our house, set the house ablaze, with 11 people inside.
“All the 11 people are members of my family. They include three women and eight children, who are wives and children of my three younger brothers.
“They also killed two of my uncles. While on the bush path, we discovered four other corpses burnt to death. They equally killed two imams, one of my neighbours and a close friend of mine. We just performed the funeral prayer for the 21 this afternoon (Wednesday). Initially, it was 20 corpses we buried first before we later discovered one more corpse inside the bush we buried him too,” he narrated.
He said right now, people had fled the village and that he was the only one left in the village now because he had come to pick something, saying that “I just took my brother and his two wives to Zaria. I am about leaving now myself.
