Legit.ng gathers that Abdullahi said GAFDAN had an emergency meeting to review the recent killings in the area where over hundred Fulani people were allegedly killed in an unprovoked attack by the Adara communities in Iri ,Maro villages on Monday, February 11 .

According to him, the state government and security agencies have confirmed the killing of 66 Fulani persons in the attack.

He lamented that while people within and outside the area were showing their sympathy and support to the efforts by well meaning Nigerians to resolve the crisis amicably, some members of the immediate community “are shamelessly denying it.”

“We call on our people not to take laws into their own hands but to allow government and security agencies deal with the issues.

“We call on the government and the security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators of these crimes against humanity are apprehended and brought to book.

“We commend the governor of Kaduna state, the security agencies for visiting the areas to see for themselves the level of destruction of human lives and property perpetuated by these criminals," he said.

The secretary said the association would continue to work with all stakeholders and peace loving people to ensure that the people of the area reconciled with one another.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
