About
150 people killed at the weekend by invading gunmen in Unguwar Galadima village
in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State have been given a mass burial.
The
bodies of the victims were interred on Sunday at a ceremony attended by the
state Governor, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari.
Over
215 persons were said to have been killed in the attack on the people who were
holding a meeting of vigilante groups to review the security situation in the
area when the gunmen struck.
Speaking
at the funeral, Yari, who led a delegation of the state government to the
ceremony, expressed shock and sadness over the incident.
He
wondered how such a heinous act could happen in broad daylight without any help
from the security operatives.
While
giving the assurance of his government’s determination to fish out the culprits
and bring them to book, Yari also promised that the families of the victims
would be compensated to cushion their suffering.
