Mrs. Katarma while in Ecwa Widows Training Camp, noted that the carnage being meted on Atyap land calls for urgent attention both within and outside. “Our people need help from the Government, NGOs and spirited individuals.

He has made a lot of arrest base on rumor that our elders have killed Cows but the perpatrators have never been arrested even when they’re arrested they will be released.“The people that are killing us are the same peaple that the Government is protecting”, stressing that if you move to Zango now you would see a Garrison of army protecting the peaple carrying out this heirnours act on us.
