Residents of the community alleged that the attack was organised by a Fulani bandit spearheaded by the gang leader popularly known as Kachalla Bube.
According to Wakili, Kachall Bube, who is the prime suspect, is responsible for inviting and attacking the Hausa community in the area.
“The so-called human rights organisation were in the habit of responding late to issues of security challenges as it relates to Bube and his cohorts.
“They seriously appear to protect the suspects through legal and humanitarian support, but deny such rights to other people in the community,” he said.
