According to Babajide, the Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), Major General Christopher Musa (pictured below), provided eight gun trucks and dozens of heavily armed soldiers for security during the visit.

Upon his arrival, Babajide interviewed some farmers who lost family members to the attack, and they shared their ordeal. One of the affected farmers claims his seven family members got killed during the massacre. Other eyewitnesses also revealed how the terrorists rounded up farmers to a building under the guise of preaching before moving them to a slaughterhouse.<\/p>\n
Babajide visited the building above, where the terrorists initially moved their victims into for preaching. Before proceeding to the house where the farmers got slaughtered one after another. Upon entering the deserted slaughterhouse (pictured below) where the massacre happened, bloodstains were seen on the floor and the walls. The footwear of some of the victims was also spotted in the building a year after the incident.<\/p>\n
Babajide proceeded to the Zabamari community, where the burial site of the victims is situated. The graves (pictured below) are separated into seven graves and three graves.<\/p>\n
The head of traditional rulers in Zabamari, Bulama Danbaba, and other eyewitnesses commend the efforts of the Nigerian military and the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) for restoring peace and security in the area. The community members also testified that they had not witnessed any attacks over the past few months.<\/p>\n
However, Bulama urges the government to do more as the terrorists pass through the area without harming his people.<\/p>\n
