It is tears, sorrow and horrific situation when 50 bodies were recovered following an attack by armed bandits at Gwaska village in Birnin-Gwari local government of Kaduna state, Saturday.
The bodies were evacuated by members of vigilante group and volunteers numbering five hundred with assistance of handful soldiers this afternoon.
One of the vigilantes said, “The tensed atmosphere and untidy nature of the village environment necessitate the evacuation of forty-five bodies discovered for burial rites in Birnin-Gwari town.”
Another volunteers said, “search and rescue operation in ongoing at Gwaska, saying, “death toll may rise at many bodies are likely to be found in the bush.”
While we commend the resilience of the braved vigilantes and volunteers, we equally call on the people of Birnin-Gwari to remain calm and Vigilance for peaceful burial rites of the deceased and await government response (if any) on the massacre of innocent lives and destruction of their homes by armed bandits.
