Again, Suspected Fulani Gunmen Kill Five Persons In Plateau

Barely three days after the murder of a traditional ruler, Da Bulus Chuwang Jang, gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen struck again on Thursday and killed five persons in K/Vom community of Vwang District in Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The gunmen numbering about 20 were said to have stormed the community around 10:30pm and opened fire on the locals, who were relaxing at a spot after a hectic day.

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
