In a harrowing account shared with TVC News from 2:10, a pregnant woman, Justina narrated the traumatic events that led to the death of her husband and the destruction of their home by suspected herdsmen.
According to Justina, a mother of four, the attack occurred late in the evening while she was sitting outside their home. “I was sitting outside when my husband asked me to go inside. Later, he came and asked me to run with the children that herdsmen have invaded our community,” she recounted, her voice trembling with emotion.
Fleeing into the night with her children, Justina sought safety as chaos erupted in their village. When she returned the following day, the devastation was overwhelming. Homes had been reduced to ashes, and the once peaceful community lay in ruins.
Tragically, amid the wreckage, Justina discovered the lifeless body of her husband. “When we came back the next day, I saw someone lying on the ground. I took a closer look and saw the lifeless body of my husband,” she said, struggling to hold back tears.
The attack has left the community in deep mourning, with many families displaced and seeking refuge in neighboring areas. Local authorities have condemned the incident and called for urgent intervention to prevent further violence.
Rights groups have expressed concern over the rising wave of attacks on rural communities, urging the government to step up security efforts and support affected victims.
For Justina and many others, the road to recovery will be long and painful. As she faces an uncertain future with her unborn child and four young children, she calls for justice and protection to prevent similar tragedies from recurring.
