Eyewitnesses, who bravely shared their accounts with SaharaReporters, painted a chilling picture of the brutal onslaught. Barnabas, a resident of the community, recounted the arrival of four Nigerian soldiers who had responded to distress calls.

With over 50 herdsmen possessing superior firepower, the soldiers’ efforts proved futile in the face of such overwhelming force.

Amidst a backdrop of profound grief and anguish, an anonymous source expressed their outrage over the senseless killing of innocent residents and the despicable act of burning their lifeless bodies. This horrific incident serves as a stark reminder of the depths of depravity that the community of Iyer has been subjected to.
