EVEN if your heart is made of stone, you will weep at the sight and circumstances of the famished innocent babies, children, women, and men of the Okuama community, at their sanctuary in a forest in a part of the state.
Therefore, other women and I resisted and held them on the legs, and were pleading, they said if we resisted, they would shoot, next thing was fire, I did not even know how I escaped.Immediately, we ran into the bush, we heard that soldiers were coming again. Now, I have not seen my two children, Omafuvwe and Andrew, including my husband.
Soldiers killed Magdalene, James, John, and others – 50-year-old Vero Joseph, tailor, trader/farmer, mother of five; we were on the farm that day. The farm I went to was not far, We heard that soldiers were coming, so I ran home. I got to the town hall and we entertained the soldiers. We do everything inside this bush, no food, no drugs. I have worn this single wrapper since then, we are hungry and suffering. I am with only two of my kids, I do not know where my husband is, and I do not know where the other children are.
We beg the governor to tell the soldiers to leave our community so that we can go back home, the suffering is too much.The day the incident happened, I was at home because I was not well, someone came to call me, saying that soldiers had come and all the elders should come. If I walk a long distance, I start to feel dizzy. I am here in this bush with my wife, all my children have left the town long ago, and they do not stay here. I had been living with my wife alone. I cannot even get medication because I left the drugs behind.
However, later, they insisted that they would go with the chairman. The women refused, and soldiers started shooting and people scattered. Our children are out of school and we are suffering so much in the bush. We have nothing to eat in the bush; we eat wild fruits here and sleep on the grass. I have three sisters and three brothers. I am here in the bush because they are fighting in our community. We have not been going to school since then, we eat guava in the bush.
The Okauma population is about 2,000, but they are peasant farmers, anglers, and traders. Okuama youths do not own or carry arms. That name Amagbein is alien to us in Okuama.
