Corpses still litter villages – Rep

Representative of Barkin Ladi/Riyom  in the House of Representatives, Mr. Simon Mwadkon, who survived the Fulani attack in Matse, has said the corpses of victims still litter the scene because relatives were afraid to remove them.

Mwadkon, who said this when Governor Jonah Jang visited him in Jos on Monday, described the incident as “horrifying”.

He said, “It is very terrible what happened. I am yet to come out of the shock because the shooting was so intense as if we were in a state of war.”

Mwadkon said when the attackers swooped on the burial procession, everybody took to their heels, adding that they had no escape route other than climbing the mountain.

He said he and the other two lawmakers got exhausted after trying to climb the steep mountain, adding that they fell down several times because of the bullets flying over  their heads.
