Hundreds of women farmers from Mayobo, Moria, Makaray, and Makarie communities in Bombali district on Monday, August 26, 2024, protested the destruction of their rice farms by cattle owned by the former regent chief of Makarie chiefdom, Ibrahim Dawoh.
The protest was staged in front of the residence of PC Bai Makarie N’kolo.
The protesting women farmers claimed Dawoh’s let loose his cattle to destroy their livelihood and by extension President Bio’s ‘Feed Salone’ agenda.
PC Bai Makarie N’kolo II urged the protesters to be calm and believe in the rule of law. He made several attempts to reach out to Ibrahim Dawoh to report to his palace and respond to the protesters’ claims but could not be reached.
The protesters have vouched to strip themselves naked should the concerned authorities fail to act.
