Monday, August 3, 2026 - Prominent Nigerian Christian cleric, Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo has confirmed a mass burial of about 27 people who were recently murdered during an unprovoked attack in Naridon village, Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The ncident occurred on Sunday, 26 July when suspected
militant members of the Fulani group attacked the village, slaughtering about
30 unsuspecting citizens.
According to reports, the victims were 21 from a Catholic
church and nine from, Evangelical Church Winning All ECWA.
27 of them were given a mass burial on Saturday,
according to Rev Dachomo.
The clergy, who expressed sadness over the incessant
gruesome murder of innocent citizens, said his “heart aches beyond words” while
watching image from the burial.
“Twenty-seven caskets stood side by side, each one carrying
a life that was precious to God. Some families stood before more than one
coffin because they had lost several loved ones in the same attack. Parents
buried their children.
“Children buried their parents. Brothers, sisters,
neighbours, and lifelong friends were all taken away by violence.
“As I looked at those coffins, I could not help but ask how
many more tears must be shed before the world pays attention. How many more
villages must mourn? How many more innocent Christians must be buried together
before their cries are heard?
“Yesterday, Naridon Village became another place where
dreams were buried alongside innocent lives. The sound of weeping replaced the
laughter of families.
“The silence left behind is almost unbearable. Every coffin
tells the story of a future stolen too soon”, he said in a post on his official
X handle.
