One of the survivors of the d3adly attack on Woro community in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State, Danjuma Bagu, said he has not heard from his wife and six children, several days after terrorists stormed the community.
The incident occurred last Tuesday. Community leaders and residents said on Sunday that the d3ath toll had risen to 150, as search and rescue efforts were still ongoing.
The figure includes 113 Muslim victims, 21 Christians, 8 Togolese nationals and 8 Hausas.
Bagu, who is receiving treatment for a gunshot wound to the thigh at the Kwara State University Teaching Hospital (KWASUTH), told Daily Trust that he fled during the attack and has since been unable to establish contact with his family.
“I crawled inside the forest from when I was shot till the time the army came over, 8 hours in the pool of my blood, and tried to keep my voice low despite the pain because I don’t know whether they are still around. I don’t know how I survived, honestly. It was the army that took us to Kaiama Teaching Hospital before we were later brought here,” he said.
Meanwhile, community leaders said on Sunday that casualty figures from the attack had risen to 150.
The village head of Woro, Alhaji Salihu Bio Umar, said he was yet to hear from his wife and children, as well as others believed to have been kidnapped.
“Nobody has called us to ask for anything so far,” he said.
