The heaps you see here are not packaged beef from cattle but body-bags of innocent Nigerians killed in their sleep.
No fewer than 200 people died in an attack on Yargaladima in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara state.
The village was invaded by suspected Fulani herdsmen who shot at everybody in sight during a four-hour operation.
The attack on Yargaladima in Maru Local Government followed a similar one on Burni-Tsaba and Manitsaba communities in Zumi Local Government, last week.
The attack occurred at about 2pm when the hoodlums, riding on over 100 motorcycles and carrying various guns, including AK 47 rifles, stormed a meeting of a vigilance group and professionals planning how to confront insurgents.
Police spokesman Lawal Abdullahi said the organisers of such a meeting ought to have informed him to provide security.
A survivor of the attack, Mallam Muhamadu Yargaladima, said: “Between yesterday (Saturday) and today, we counted no fewer than 215 bodies.”
He added: “Using AK 47 and other rifles, they began to shoot at children, traders, vigilante, community leaders, clerics, thereby killing 215 people at the end of the four-hour operation.”
This is debasing to say the least! We have not finished dealing with Boko Haram and now this ugly monster!
