We have recovered 113 bodies – Council Boss
The Transition Committee Chairman of Bokkos LGA, Kassah, told journalists yesterday that 113 bodies were recovered from the attacks.
“The attacks were well coordinated, no fewer than 20 different communities were attacked by the bandits.
“As I am talking to you, we have recovered 113 dead bodies from those communities. We have recovered more than three hundred injured; some were taken to hospitals in Jos, some to hospitals in Barkin Ladi, and others have been taken to hospitals in Bokkos.
“The security personnel have been doing their best, the difficult terrain reaching those communities has made the security not reach there on time to prevent those communities,” Kassah stated.
The chairman of Barikin LGA, Danuma Dakil, who also spoke yesterday, said the attackers killed 32 persons and burnt many houses in three villages in his local government area.
Dakil stated that the search for more bodies was ongoing.
