Corpses abandoned in Bamessing as residents flee for safety

Residents in Bamessing, Ndop in the North West region say some 10 people killed in the area by the military were abandoned on the roadside.

They include a pregnant lady, a one year old kid and about eight others.

MMI has been informed residents have since fled Bamissing for safety.

“Those that escaped from the hands of military ran to nearby villages where life has been so hard for them because they can’t get access to food” a source told MMI Monday. It remains unclear whether the abandoned corpses have been taken for burial as access to the site is difficult due to insecurity.
