INSIDE STORY: Raped, shot, tortured — the scarred survivors of banditry in northern Nigeria

Silas Yohanna, a farmer from Kaure village, says he has lost many people

“Our village was attacked many times, we have lost a lot of people; my uncle and about six of my family members were killed the first time they attacked our village in November 2016. They attacked us one night when residents were asleep. We were actually at alert, hoping to run when we heard they were on their way but we were taken unaware, although some people were able to escape that night. Eleven of us were kidnapped, and up till now, one person is yet to return. His name is Timothy Lado, he was my childhood friend.”
