"WANG & MAFWIL are my first cousins, they were killed by Fulani's on Sunday evening just because they are trying to protect their farms from being destroyed by herders. You looked handsome & your wife's beautiful, but you are no more, surely as the lord leaves, he will fight for you. As your senior brother I wept but I'm comforted, I receive solace & I'm strong but I will never forget it. You guys are very intelligent academically, agriculturally & otherwise. GOOD NIGHT MY BELOVED BROTHERS."
