So, following the supposed #AtyapPeaceAccord, today, 11 Sept, 2020, suspected #ArmedHerders attacked Mañyi-Mashin village, in Zamandabo ward, Atyap Chiefdom, Zangon Kataf LGA in the latest instalment of #SouthernKadunaMassacre

They fled only after #OperationSafeHeaven responded

By then, the attackers had methodically set the settlement of Mañyi-Mashin on fire burning most of the structures & looting & carting away much of what they chose not to burn. They also killed 2 ppl:

Cecilia Ishaya, 62, widow & mother of 6;

& Iliya Sunday, 56, father of 8.

3 days earlier, on 8 Sept, another militia of #ArmedHerders reportedly attacked 3 Atyap youths from Atakmawei village, also in Zamandabo Ward.

They killed Anthony Magaji, 25, final yr HND student with Nuhu Bamali Polytechnic, Zaria;

Isaac Thomas, 24, OND student of the same school escaped with life threatening injuries. He is presently hospitalised. The 3rd person escaped with relatively modest injuries.

Also on 8 Sept, a reported attack by #ArmedHerders on Kitsarapang in Kizachi community, Tsam Chiefdom in Kauru LGA killed Emmanuel David Yohanna, 13 & left 2 persons injured with gunshot wounds: Sunday Zango Stephen, 48 & Zakka John, 23. They're hospitalised in Jos.

2 days earlier, on 6 Sept, 3 decomposing bodies were found on Kaduna-Abuja highway. They were later identified as among 4 persons abducted during an attack on Maraban Rido, in Chikun LGA. They were killed despite a ransom paid for their release.

1 of the 3 was identified as Pius, Gargai, 20, a father of 1 who was also nephew of the 1st Vice President of SOKAPU, Mr. Dio Maisamari. Pius was buried on Wednesday, 9 Sept, in his village, Kufana, in Kajuru LGA.

On 24 Aug, #bandits abducted Ezra Bako, 17; Happiness Odoji, 16; Miracle Saitu Danjuma, 15; Favour Danjuma, 10; & Christiana Madugu, 29, a teacher, from Prince Academy in Damba-Kasaya, Chikun LGA, Kaduna. @NigeriaGov & @contactkdsg have said nothing.

This is testimony to cynical priorities of @NigeriaGov: they have the wherewithal to deploy massive assets to capture Edo State in #EdoDecides2020

But they can't bat eyelid abt #SouthernKadunaMassacre despite the intensity of the slaughter & destruction
