Karofi said: “I am a mother of nine, I lost five in the Zaria massacre but three are my biological children and two are adopted, but I gave birth to nine children. One died naturally and three were shot dead in Zaria. One is carrying a bullet in his chest right now and I also was severely injured.

“My experience was traumatic. It was terrible. I saw more corpses that I never thought I would see in my life. They were killing everybody. They were shooting indiscriminately. They were not choosing who to shoot. I don’t know why they did what they did. There was no reason for it at all.

“Personally, I have lost hope for justice because the movement had so far been targeted twice for no reason, during this current administration.”
