There was no cooperation and unity among the civil population, no peace among themselves, and it used to disturb me greatly as a leader,\u201d said Tisa. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Kei Emmanuel Duku Ebenezer Radio, broadcasting on 96.7 FM, dedicated to disseminating the word of God has been launched in Kajo-Keji County.
