 Tears As Seven Victims Of Ungwan Rimi Attack Laid To Rest In Kauru


The community of Ungwan Rimi in Kamuru ward was thrown into mourning on Saturday as seven residents killed in last week’s gunmen attack were laid to rest.


Family members, friends, and sympathizers gathered in grief as the victims were buried amid wails and prayers. 


The August 24 assault left seven people dead, several injured, and parts of the community destroyed, marking yet another tragedy in Kaduna’s Kauru Local Government Area.


Community leaders described the burial as a painful reminder of the fragility of life in the face of recurring violence, while many residents expressed anger over what they see as government failure to protect rural communities from incessant attacks.


“The loss of these innocent lives is a wound on our hearts. We can only pray for healing and for God’s mercy on our land,” one mourner said.
