The invaders keep threatening us with bloody violence on a daily basis, killing and maiming our people and setting our houses ablaze.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWe no longer go to our farms. The few planted crops have been destroyed by the armed herdsmen using cows who go into the farms and match over them. Hunger is killing us and our children have nothing to eat for years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government which has oversight over security is doing nothing to save us. Gradually, the invaders who are well armed are closing up on Ayilamo with a population of over 400,000 people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Logo Divisional Police office in Ugba has confirmed the attack on Ayilamo community.<\/p>\n<p>The Chairman of Logo Local Government Council, Clement Ukav, also confirmed the incident and assured that he was doing everything possible to arrest the situation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The community shares a boundary with Wukari in Taraba State and has witnessed frequent communal clashes between the neighbouring communities.
