At least 19 people were killed, an unknown number injured and an estimated 4000 displaced when armed Fulanis attacked Mafang and Zilang villages in Kaura Local Government Area in Southern Kaduna State over the Easter weekend.
According to local reports, on Saturday 30 March well-armed men dressed in black surrounded the villages before launching an assault that continued into Easter Sunday.
Many villagers fled to the nearby hills. Some who returned later to assess the extent of the damage were also murdered. The majority of victims were women and children.

Many of those displaced by the destruction are reported to be staying in the local Amisi Primary School, as well as in nearby Fadan Attakar and Mifi villages. Read more
