“How cheap life can be in this country. We got married about a month ago. I went to his farm yesterday and transported the harvested corn to his house, only to be killed by the nomads. l it rained a bullet on him. There is no conscience. There is no human emotion… How can a man be so cruel and evil? amos! May your killer never find peace. NB: What exactly is happening in Bokkos? Anxiety is too much. If he is not killed, he lives in fear of being kidnapped,” he wrote.

Ur killer will not find peace. It’s so hard to say goodbye. I pray u fine eternal rest nd peace as well. I will miss uuuuuu forever,” he wrote.
