Â鶹Éç

A few years ago, the town of Anam in Southern Nigeria was known for all the wrong reasons: high levels of crime and knife and gun violence. A group of local women, known as 'ụmụadas', decided to take matters into their own hands and confronted criminals with... their kitchen spoons. Â鶹Éç Igbo editor Adline Okere, who is an ụmụada herself, has the story. Plus, how Subagunam Kannan's passion for filming ants in his own house led him to make a viral video for Â鶹Éç Tamil, and a train journey through Thailand and Laos with Thuong Le from Â鶹Éç Vietnamese.
