Bandits turn house owners to slaves

....women to sex slaves, cooks

AN elder and community leader in Katsina State, Dr Bashir Kurfi, has said bandits and terrorists have taken over people’s homes in President Muhammadu Buhari’s home state, turning homeowners into slaves.

A Twitter post by Bulama Bukarti, yesterday, quoted Kurfi as telling BBC Hausa in an interview that gangs have occupied people’s homes in many Katsina villages, where they force the owners to live in makeshifts and work on farms.

He added that the bandits also forced homeowners to produce food for the terrorists and raped women and girls.

Kurfi cited an incident in which 40 bandits gang-raped nine women for a whole night. The elder statesman said he took the victims to the Federal Medical Centre.

“When doctors at the FMC checked the victims, they advised that they should be taken to a Urology Hospital (which treats urinary-tract system) because the damage done was beyond the capacity of FMC,” he added

Burkati tweets: “In Buhari home Katsina, bandits have turned many people into slaves according to Dr Bashir Kurfi, an elder and community leader. He told BBC Hausa that gangs have occupied people’s homes in many villages, where they force the owners to live in makeshifts  and work on farms.

“….taken over by the bandits to produce food for the terrorists. At the same time, they’re serially raping women and girls. Dr Kurfi cited one incident that he witnessed in which 40 bandits gang-raped nine women for a whole night. He took the victims to the Federal Medical Centre.

“When doctors at the FMC checked the victims, they advised that they should be taken to a Urology Hospital (which treats urinary-tract system) because the damage done was beyond the capacity of an FMC. This horror is unfolding in Buhari’s state. Can other states expect better?”
