Residents of Kasuwan Daji awoke Sunday morning, preparing for burials after armed men attacked the town’s weekly market, killing more than 50 people, including a pastor who was targeted and killed while attempting to escape. Among those killed was Reverend Ishaya Bamayi, a pastor serving in Kwana District. According to eyewitnesses, Bamayi went to Kasuwan Daji market on Saturday afternoon when the attackers stormed the area. Witnesses said he fled with other civilians when gunfire erupted, but the assailants pursued him after identifying him as a Christian leader and killed him.
