According to him, their assailants had also destroyed crops and places of worship.

He said the attacks were across the entire chiefdom, adding that it was beyond banditry and a premeditated attempt to wipe out the Atyap people.

“We are bittered. All schools in the area have been closed down. Our children can no longer go to school, thereby creating a humanitarian crisis for all the displaced people in the land,” he said.
