Taraba: 7 Feared Killed As Muslims, Christians Fight Dirty Over Ishaku’s Removal by lolaxavier(m): 7:42pm On Nov 09, 2015

No fewer than seven people were killed and 16 others injured in a fresh violence that broke out yesterday in Wukari local government area of Taraba State.

The ugly development is coming barely 24 hours after the state election petition tribunal sacked the governor, Darius Ishaku.

It was gathered that trouble started when residents of Wukari reacted angrily to the tribunal verdict.

“When the sad news got to the town, supporters of both parties suddenly started killing themselves,” a resident told Leadership, adding that property worth millions of Naira was also destroyed.

According to him, the crisis has now turned into a Christians versus Muslims fight.

“The crisis, as we are talking, has turned into religious fight. The Christians are alleging that the tribunal chairman, who ordered the removal of Governor Ishaku was biased,” he said.

Reacting to the development, spokesman of the Taraba State Police Command, DSP Joseph Kwaji, confirmed the crisis, but said he was yet to ascertain the actual figure of casualties.

On his part, the senior special adviser on media and publicity to Governor Ishaku, Mr. Slyvanus Giwa, said soldiers had been drafted to the area to control the situation.

“Normalcy is gradually returning to the ancient city of Wukari and government is doing its best to ensure that people go about their normal businesses,” he said.

He warned that anyone who tried to take the laws into their hand would be arrested to face the law.

The number of casualties is still minimal because Herdsmen are yet to be drafted in. By the time they make inroads, then . . .

APC had polarized this country. There is no more objective observation; it is either APC or PDP, Christian or Muslim, herdsmen or farmer, north or south, rich or poor, Nigeria or Biafra.

What amazing CHANGE!!!!!

Nigeria is heading for a monochial system of government, after sacking the governors from the opposition party, then Nigeria will become one-party state. The next could be a king like Saudi Arabia, then proper Islamalization will inevitably follow it.

PDP is just trying to create unnecessary tension just to get public sympathy. Causing unrest all over the place because of their political misfortune will only add to their impossible to solve problem.

I understand your grievances but I do not share your pain. If the rule of law is meted out and all you see is condemnation, then you are not far from the problem of this nation.

"Rule of law" only in PDP states? You are too blind to see the current judicial injustice and nepotism.

That's the change we voted for; the fault lines are getting wider by the day. Things fall apart the centre cannot hold.

I only know there are states in Nigeria. I don't understand what you mean by pdp state. As long as misdeeds and wrongdoings are being corrected, I think well-meaning populace of this country don't care whose arss is left unwiped. When you are not duly elected and a court of law strikes out your eligibility, then it is called justice not witchcraft or witch-hunt or whatever you people call it.

You don't understand what is happening in Taraba. The real owners of the land(the minority tribes with a larger population) are fighting for their destiny. It is glaring that Mr. Darius won as anyone who followed the run up to the last gubernatorial election knows what transpired. Buhari wants to foist a Muslim fulani woman on them. If they don't protest now the same thing el rufai is doing in Kaduna is what she will start doing in Taraba. The fulanis are very strategic if you study them very well. Silent and deadly as they slowly organize having block all your escape systems. This is what they want to do to us through the recent political rumblings in Akwa Ibom and Rivers state hoping that the APC candidates there(since there are no fulanis there) will be malleable to them when their full assault begin. All pro Nigerian Igbos have two things in common: its either they are very greedy and conscious of themselves alone or they know nothing about Nigeria- they are very very naive. Such people are only good for slaughter.

this is just the beginning, apc would fulfill the plan to set Nigeria on fire ( what GEJ avoided) and disintegrate the country. even tinubu would be amazed at the buhari he thought he knew and the northerners he thought he could trust. cause this might not be his plan or might be.

Nigeria is gradually sliding back to the days of Kaduna mafia, they are in charge and its always Kaduna, that's where their head is currently.

may God save us from this extremist govt.

Islamisation on course. Buhari wants to consolidate on where Islam seems to be losing hands. Sacking opposition governments here and there to remove opposition, then unleash his evil plans.


No matter what, Islam can never conquer SE/SS land.
