As you sleep, please put my family in your prayers. My mother is displaced and still hiding. Pray for her comfort and safety. Pray for my hometown ‘Nko’ yakurr area of cross river state. This is a lot for me to handle.

Dear Nigerians, They’re still shooting sporadically in my village (Nko, Yakurr area of cross river state.) It’s enough that they burnt our house with my father in it and my poor mother is still in tye Bush hiding for her life. We can’t even travel which makes more horrible.
