On Thursday June 26, about 110 victims of killings in Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State were given mass burial. The National Chairman of Ninzom Progressive Youth, Mr. Bezard Wuyah, who confirmed the mass burial, said those buried included an unnamed Igbo trader and his wife. The victims were buried in a parcel of land between Gwantu Kurmi and Kobin near the local government.
 
"We have just finished giving 110 people mass burial this (yesterday) afternoon. We had no choice, because their corpses were decomposing as a result of poor facilities at the hospitals.

"However, not all the dead were given mass burial. Some families were able to identify their loved ones, so they were allowed to take the bodies away. I cannot give the number of bodies taken away by families.

"All those that are injured will be treated by Sanga Local Government free of charge. Normalcy has returned with the beefing up of security in the area. Today (yesterday) we got eight Toyota Hilux loads of soldiers from Kaduna, who have come to join those already on ground.

"I want to appeal to all the people of Sanga to please forgive and leave vengeance to Almighty God. I beg everyone to remain law abiding, but vigilant,” he stated.


Meanwhile, the 24 hour curfew imposed on the area is still in force.
