Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 44814, member: 636"] A mob killed twelve people from Basawa community during their journey to attend a wedding. The victims came from Zaria Local Government Area where they lived peacefully. They boarded a bus from Ahmadu Bello University that held eighteen passengers. The group planned to celebrate at a marriage ceremony far from home. Thirty-one travelers started the trip together on Friday evening. The attack happened around eight at night when darkness covered the roads. The bus took a wrong turn and passengers needed to find the right path. They stopped their vehicle to ask local people for help with directions. A crowd gathered around the confused travelers quickly. The mob surrounded them with dangerous weapons ready to strike. Violence broke out as attackers beat the helpless passengers with clubs and knives. The driver died first when the crowd turned deadly. Eleven people suffered serious wounds during the brutal assault. The attackers set fire to the bus after putting bodies inside. Flames destroyed the vehicle along with several victims trapped within. Ibrahim Umar survived the horrible attack and told others what happened. He explained how the group felt lost and scared before asking for guidance. The mob showed no mercy to women and children among the travelers. Medical workers treat the injured survivors at Mangu General Hospital right away. Sheikh Suleiman Haruna confirmed that eight dead bodies reached the hospital morgue. Police officers know about this terrible crime against innocent people. They plan to release more details about their investigation later. The local government chairman helped coordinate rescue efforts with security teams. Search parties continue looking for the remaining victims who died. Hospital staff work hard to save those who survived the brutal mob attack. [/QUOTE]
