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.
