groups and other faith-based organizations.”

He added, “SOKAPU is calling on the federal government and its agencies as well as state governments and its agencies to come to the aid of most of the people that have been displaced as a result of attacks by suspected Fulani militias and other criminals.

“Many who have been displaced for years are living in uncomfortable places and their children are out of school for years while others are battling health issues because of the wounds inflicted on them by their attackers. The Internally Displaced Persons have for years been facing challenges of feeding while those leaving with relatives or loved ones are not finding things easy.”
