Two stabbed to death in Wum

Two men have been stabbed to death in Wum.

Dze Rene and his elder brother Manfred were attacked while working on a farm on July 29, 2022. The perpetrators of this gruesome act are suspected Fulani militia. The victims died on the road to the Wum district hospital after fruitless efforts made by passerrby’s to save their lives.

Prior to his death, Rene was a student of Government Technical College Waindo in Wum and had recently written his Intermediate Technical and Vocation GCE and was still waiting for the results.

Recently tensions in Wum have increased due to the killing of four Fulani men by suspected separatist fighters. This happened about a week ago. After this killing, the Fulanis besieged the Aghem area and caused havoc, before making a second attack on Friday, July 29, 2022.
