Police confirm 32 killed as gunmen invade Zamfara 30.
At least 30 people have been reported dead following fresh attacks by gunmen in Birnin-Magaji local government area of Zamfara, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
The Chairman of the council, Muhammad Gusami, said on Sunday that the attacks took place in Kokeya and Chigama villages in the area.
Mr. Gusami said the gunmen invaded Kokeya village with motorcycles and killed two persons, set some houses ablaze and carted away animals mostly cows.
He said that the “unfortunate incident” had been reported to the Divisional Police Officer of Birnin-Magaji as well as soldiers on surveillance of the zone.
According to him, while this is going on, the attackers returned the next day and invaded the neighbouring village of Chigama.
“The gunmen, however, killed more than 30 persons whose bodies were still being recovered from the bush,’’ he said.
The chairman said the corpses have been taken to Birnin-magaji General Hospital.
He said the Chigama attack took place shortly after three police trucks just left the area when they noticed that peace had returned to the area. He added that the armed bandits also set several houses on fire on their second attack on Chigama village.
The News Agency of Nigeria did not state when the attacks occurred.
Ibrahim Sani, a witness, said that the gunmen who invaded Kokeya came while the villagers were closing from their prayers.
“The attackers shot sporadically in the air which prompted the people of Chigama to intervene.
“That may have provoked the gunmen to come back so as to punish Chigama people for trying to prevent the attack the previous day.
“While three persons were killed from Kokeya and Chigama on the first day in Kokeya, more than 50 were killed on the second day in Chigama while several houses were burnt,” Mr. Sani said.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Sanusi Amiru, who confirmed the attack, said that the police and army have moved to the area and normalcy had been restored.

All these barbaric act is as a result of the negligence of past northern leaders. It is just a pity that it is the masses/poor that are suffering for their selfish past actions. How could someone in his right sense kill is fellow man . The earlier the better for the northern elite, you have failed these people, you never encourage them to go to school just for you to colonize them till eternity. You only encourage them to go to madrasat under half baked Alfas who knows nothing about Islam. Most of these Northern Alfas contributed high % to all this evil act, all they preach is Hate among themselves, even to the extent that they will never recognize any Muslim who is not Hausa. This war against killing of innocent souls cannot be won with gun alone, let the government set up many orientation program to re-orientate all these boys so that they can have real knowledge of Íslam.

God when will all this human sacrifice stop please?

A lot of atrocities has been committed,the blood of the innocent will continue to curse the nation if our government refuse to rise up to the challenge.
#Endbokoharamnow,

Boko haram fighters are opening up new frontiers

Some few years ago, it used to be religious crisis and I witnessed a couple of it. It subsided and Bokoharam took centre stage. Many have hidden under the insurgency to perpetrate evil(Gun men) and I keep hoping that when Bokoharam is defeated, we won't be faced with anything close to this horror or worse than we have already seen.

It is becoming normal to hear deaths of people while reading from the Internet in the comfort of our places of abode and I pray the feeling of abnormalities won't visit any of us as a result of terror. It is better imagined than experienced.

Lalasticlala go push this one go frontpage for sure

Good observation bro. The northern leaders know fully what to do to stop this killing but instead they keep empowering these boys with arms.
