With her eyes swollen from grief, she was seen addressing the press about the tragedy.
The UK-based Nigerian doctor @OurFavOnlineDoc, who posted the video, wrote…
“This woman has lost all five of her children and also her mother in the recent Yelwata Massacre in Benue State.
The agony is profound and overwhelming.
How can one provide comfort to someone in such pain?
What can you say to her about “reconciling” with those who have taken her family away?”

The pain is deep and piercing.
How do you console someone like this?
