Over 100 persons, mostly children and women, were this afternoon buried in mass grave yards in the troubled Southern Kaduna region of Kaduna state, according to Sahara Reporters.
An indigene of the area, Sunday Ugah who sent photos to citizen reporting website, Sahara Reporters said that many locals are still missing, and that over 300 others were seriously injured. Hundreds more were displaced in some locations.
“We have just finished mass burial of our kith and kin gruesomely killed in our villages by Fulani herdsmen from Tuesday to yesterday (Wednesday),” Ugah said.
He also decried the situation, saying, “I was born about 40 years ago, and I have never seen this kind of ethnic cleansing in my life, we have a family that all their 12 children were mutilated to death. I enclosed their pictures.”
The dead are victims of the series of attacks on five villages in Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna in a violent campaign that lasted two days from Tuesday, June 25, 2014.The gunmen invaded villages killing and maiming and burning down homes.
