Another survivor, Baba Alhaji Musa, said they were fasting when the attackers numbering about sixty stormed their village and ordered everyone to assemble. He said within minutes many people were hacked down, even as the attackers went to house-to-house, looting and setting buildings ablaze. “Shockingly, most of the attackers are people we know and interacted with for a long time,” he said.
