The few health workers who survived the attack by gumen on polio vaccinators in Kano on Friday cheated death by lying down on the floor and pretending to have been killed.
This was part of the revelations made by survivors in interviews with our correspondents who visited them at Abdullahi Wase Specialist Hospital and the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH) in Kano at the weekend.
Sunday Trust gathered that the gunmen did not only shoot the health workers, they also set fire on them to ensure no survivors were left.
Nine female polio vaccinators lost their lives in two separate shootings at health centres in Kano within an hour on Friday.
When our reporters visited th hospitals, the survivors were too traumatised to talk.
