Jubril Ahmed, husband of the pregnant woman Harira Jubril, killed along with her four children, has lamented his loneliness following the killing of his family.
Mrs Jubril and her children — Fatima, 9; Khadijah, 7; Hadiza, 5; and Zaituna, 2 — were shot dead on May 22 in Anambra.
Her husband told Daily Trust that she was almost due for delivery at the time of her death.
He said, “They were coming back home after she visited her sister who was living in the nearby town. She and the four children were all wearing hijabs, that was why the gunmen targeted them.”
Ahmed, who works as a security guard in Anambra State, said he hoped to take the corpses to Ganye Local Government Area in Adamawa State and bury them.
The deceased were later buried in Anambra.
“I’m now left with nobody, they have wiped out my entire family. I am so worried and in trauma, there is a need for the government to do something,” Ahmed said.
