You are married to a soldier with whom you’ve built a life and raised six children. Then, one day, he is deployed to war and never returns.
Years later, as insurgency threats start to surface in your city, your son steps on a bomb that explodes. You’re uncertain whether he will survive, and you rush him to a hospital in the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, hoping to give him a fighting chance.
A decade later, you still cannot return home. The insurgency remains relentless. Now, you are being evicted from the settlement camp where you’ve stayed for years. What do you do? Where do you go?
