Fulani herdsmen kill 2 in Ijaw community

  In the early hours of Monday, January 23rd, it came to light that 2 members of the Toru-Angiama community had been murdered by Fulani herdsmen. The details of the activities that led to this are still unfolding. Last week, 2 members of the community were held against their will by these herdmen at gun point. Again, the sequence of events that led to that are unknown. How do nomadic herdmen roam into a community with their herd, and begin to terrorize the community? These Fulani nomads have to be restrained. If brute force, or even the government seems to be turning a blind eye to their attrocities, then the people need to collectively band together to hit them where it hurts - their main resource, cattle. The only reason they are venturing all the way to the south with their cattle is because there is a market for them.

All too soon, another 365 days have passed.  2. It was an eventful year that tested us in diverse ways, but we have arrived at the start of a brand new one. I am persuaded that He who has brought us this far will faithfully help us throughout this new year. 3. I am aware the challenges we confronted in 2022 will not disappear overnight. But because God has kept us to see this day, I am filled with fresh hope about the possibilities of better days to come.  4.

The devastation that occurred turned our State into an Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) Camp. Critical infrastructure, including roads, bridges, schools and hospitals were severely destroyed and degraded. No ...
