[00:03:28] of leaders at the community level for. a job well done,
[00:03:31] we

[00:03:36] of thank God that today God has good smile on our faces, we
[00:03:40] of are more than grateful, our families have now breath some
[00:03:43] side of relief, it's not been easy for us at all, these past
[00:03:47] days it has been most difficult for our people, but thank god
[00:03:51] today we can brief some self relief, thank god, thank the
[00:03:55] federal government, we thank the state government for a job well
[00:03:58] of done, we understand there. expected to arrive in
[00:04:01] of quara on Friday, have
[00:04:02] of you been able to discuss with any
[00:04:04] of them? um, we haven't been
[00:04:07] able to discuss with any
[00:04:09] of them yet, because they are still receiving some
[00:04:11] of preliminary medical treatment, after which they are going to be taken to the state government
[00:04:15] for proper you know treatment and then be relieved and be
[00:04:18] united with the families. we were
[00:04:22] hoping that maybe before close of go
[00:04:26] of ahead,
[00:04:27] of now we were hoping that we be able to visit then at the clinic where the... receiving for state
[00:04:30] treatment, but we thought that it's going to be better by
[00:04:33] the time they arrives to learning where they say government has already made provision
[00:04:36] to ensure that they receive proper treatment, so that's where we're going to meet
[00:04:40] them and then accompany them home together. there are still concerns
[00:04:44] about safety in your community. talk to us about what you
[00:04:47] think the the focus should be from
[00:04:50] here? yeah, you see like we
[00:04:54] said the environment where we living is
[00:04:57] very vast land, the... federal government has gezed a
[00:05:01] land marked as the game reserve, that
[00:05:05] land is so vast that they game reserve the personnel there
[00:05:09] before, they used to you know welcome. people there, people used
[00:05:13] to use it as a place where people normally visit,
[00:05:17] people come from other countries to come and visit and then the wild life there
[00:05:21] were all there before, all of sudden these bandits have
[00:05:25] taken over the whole place, is that the federal government has not been proactive
[00:05:29] enough or that, in fact let's put it that way, because this
[00:05:33] is a place that the f government was also holding before and the animals
[00:05:37] were there, people were always going there to visit and everything was going on very well, all of
[00:05:40] sudden this band has looking over the whole place, farmers that we're
[00:05:44] farming at the frenges of those place can no longer go there again to this
[00:05:48] moment, our people can no longer feed again, so our major
[00:05:52] concern is
[00:05:53] that the federal government reinforces
[00:05:56] its ability to be able to control that forest
[00:06:00] area so that the life, the the animals that are there, that is the
[00:06:04] livestock, all those animals that used to be there, government brings them back so that
[00:06:07] people can be going there for you know visiting of those
[00:06:11] animals or that the... allow our farmers our farmers to take over
[00:06:15] that place and then using it for their farming activities, but as it is, if the
[00:06:19] federal government doesn't do anything about those places,
[00:06:22] unfortunately we would not be able to have rest of mind, so we would
[00:06:26] ask the we request the federal government to please as matter of
[00:06:29] audience ensure that those forest
[00:06:33] areas are taken over by the federal government and the are
[00:06:36] used for the purpose for which they are meant. let's talk about the
[00:06:40] state government, what's the statement? government doing really to fill in the gap
[00:06:44] since this has happened? yeah,
[00:06:48] a st government has been doing its own bit
[00:06:52] for a while now, since the bandits have you
[00:06:56] invaded world and then you caded all people kill those that they are going to
[00:07:00] kill, the state government moved in, provided relief
[00:07:03] materials, ensure that the people are cattered for, that is those
[00:07:07] people that are within the village that have not been you know
[00:07:11] that they born their houses. "the relief materials were provided for
[00:07:14] them and we are expecting that the state government is also going to do its
[00:07:18] own bit by the time the people come back home and out community
[00:07:22] level to our leaders, they never left the people to
[00:07:26] their faith, they have always been up and doing,
[00:07:29] they made sure that the little that they will need to keep life going they have
[00:07:33] provided for them. thank you very much for talking to us at
