Attack on Villages and Casualties

Missionary,

and, uh, I live in Roof.

Roof is close to Bui

and the surrounding villages around,

they are within my district.

And actually what happened is that,

uh, there was a serious attack

from the Fulani, let me put it that way,

who came in the night and,

and stormed the village called Kubat,

where over 30 people, men and women,

young and children, were killed.

And as of yesterday,

around, uh,

around Murish,

Juak,

and other villages around,

uh, yesterday they were-- there, there was a

serious attack

even on our way,

uh, going there to see all that was happening.

In fact, we were trying to reach to Kubat, where they killed 30 people.

In fact, the Fulanis

raised ambush on us.

Uh,

we had to,

to crawling on the ground

under, uh,

the flying bullets. And God in His own way, we were

all safe. And, uh, the villages around,

most villages, most villages, virtually

every houses were set ablaze.

And all their grains

were all burnt.

Houses were burnt, properties were destroyed.

There was looting. We saw them. We even saw the

machineries, the, the attackers in their

hundreds, their thousands,

y-you know, and they were open fire, exchanging fire

with the military that were around.

And, uh, this morning

we, we, we were trying

to bury 29 people that were

killed in Funzai,

and immediately after we finish, we wanted to

proceed to Kubon where-- I mean, Kubat, where

they were doing another burial.

And, uh, there was a security alert.

The security that were around said, "No, we can't go there."

And they were asking people to leave, and we were

running.

Uh,

right now, men and women, you can see the policemen,

they are also getting out of the place.

You know, the situation is bad. The situation is

terrible. I just don't know. I just don't know.

Looking at the, the, the, the attack,

one will say this is a well-planning, it's a long

planning, well coordinated, and they have

achieved.
