Grieving over her loss, her family said she was an
inspiration to everyone including her students and
work colleagues.



Faye Mooney
On Friday, while Faye Mooney was holidaying
alongside Mathew Oguche, her colleague, at the
Kajuru resort in Kaduna state, suspected bandits
opened fire on the facility, killing the duo and
kidnapping four others.


A witness told TheCable Mooney and Oguche were
killed while trying to take cover. The incident has
left many heartbroken, including family and friends
of the deceased. In this piece, we look at five things
about her:


AID WORKER:
The deceased was a staff of Mercy Corps, a
humanitarian organisation, where she had been for
almost two years. As far back as 2010, she also
worked with Amnesty International as an
accountability assistant.

SCHOOLED IN LONDON
According to a statement from Mercy Corps,
Mooney finished from the University College of
London from where she proceeded to the London
School of Economics.

LECTURED IN IRAQ:
Mooney worked at the University of Soran,
Kurdistan in Iran, where she taught English in 2014,
and later, at International Business College, Mitrovica, as a lecturer and communications manager.

JOURNALIST
The late Briton also worked as the co-editor of
Womens Views on News, an online platform that
chronicles “women’s news, opinions and current
affairs” to “redress the gender imbalance in global
news reporting by telling the stories that the
mainstream press ignores, while at the same time
encouraging more feminist writers to become news
reporters and editors.”

ANTI-HUMAN TRAFFICKING ACTIVIST
For two months, from November to December,
2016, she served as a consultant for the National
Strategy Against Human Trafficking at the Centre for
Peace and Reconciliation, in Kosovo, .



SHOCK, LAMENTATIONS
Grieving over her loss, her family said she was an
inspiration to everyone including her students and
work colleagues.

Guardian UK quoted a family source as saying: “Her
bravery and her belief in a better society took her to
places others feared. Faye did what she wanted;
nothing held her back. Permanently against the
grain, Faye was unconventional to the core. Her
family and friends are so proud of who she was and
of everything she achieved in her short but
purposeful life. Her memory will always be
cherished.”

Mercy Corps also described her as “a dedicated and
passionate” official who had been with them for
almost two years.

A statement from the organisation noted she
devoted her time to “making a difference in Nigeria,
supporting our teams and the communities we work
with to tell their stories of impact, and leading
efforts to counter hate speech and violence.”

The British high commission also mourned her loss
and offered its “most profound sympathies and
condolences to the families and friends at this
difficult time.”

Who are those really behind all of these killings??

Let us not just follow the trend and continue to accuse Fulani herdsmen everytime! This may be a ploy by the perpetrators so our focus on them can be diverted and suspicion will not arise against them and they continue to prepetrate evil without being noticed!!


Who are these killers really?? Such a big question!
