 More than 100,000 children have been displaced by the latest escalation in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, UNICEF said on Sunday, warning the numbers are expected to rise as violence spreads. Since Dec. 1, intense fighting has uprooted more than 500,000 people, with children accounting for over 100,000 of those displaced in South Kivu alone, the UN agency said in a statement released Sunday.

 Kidnappers Hijack Late Venerable Achi’s Facebook To Taunt Public, Post Photos Of His Captive Family


Tension is mounting online after suspected kidnappers reportedly took control of the Facebook account of the late Venerable Edwin Achi and posted photos of his wife and daughter, who remain in their captors’ custody.


The Anglican priest and his family were abducted from their Kaduna State home on October 28. Despite the payment of ransom, the priest was tragically killed, and his decomposed body was later recovered.


In a disturbing development, new photos of his wife and daughter surfaced on his Facebook page, allegedly uploaded by the abductors still holding them hostage.


The incident has sparked widespread concern across Nigeria, with calls for urgent intervention from security agencies. As of now, no official updates have been provided on rescue efforts.


Social media users expressed shock and outrage. One commentator wrote, “This is extremely heartbreaking. God please keep the wife and daughter safe.” 


Another added, “These kidnappers don’t fear anything anymore. Using his own Facebook account? This is pure wickedness.”
