The report says the figure could get higher, as corpses are continuously discovered from time to time. It doesn’t specify how many military officers and well as separatists have died since then.Recently, over 99 persons were killed by soldiers in villages under the diocese.

They also regret that many people have lost their homes, as security forces intensify burnings in the said area. In all, over 750 houses and structures have been burned in the Diocese since the end of 2016, a figure that can increase, as days go by. The diocese states that the war has caused the displacement of over 9,900 persons from its 34 parishes and pastoral zones. The report further accuses military and armed separatists for looting property and rape

Separatists are also accused of blocking movement, grounding economic activities, educational and social life across the diocese. It highlights kidnappings, as one of the activities undertaken by armed separatists, who end up asking for ransoms, and sometimes torture their victims.

On the part of health, the diocese regrets that several people have died at home, who might have survived if they had access to health facilities. Hospitals have a tough time getting medication and other hospital provisions into Kumbo. Meanwhile, patients that are referred to those hospitals, or from them to others, often get stuck. Three nurses have already been shot and killed on their way to/from work, dressed in their work attire.State forces have reportedly, gone into health facilities with firearms, searching for any suspected and wounded separatist.

None of the accused parties have accepted they committed the acts.
