Two People Killed And Others Injured In A Fresh Attack In Taraba State by kellynelly: 10:25am On Jul 03, 2023 |
At least two persons have lost their lives after a fresh upheaval erupted in the Karim-Lamido Local Government Area of Taraba state. Many locals have been reportedly injured while no fewer than five villages were razed by the riotous youths in the ongoing unrest, the police in the middle belt state has said. The Command’s Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Abdullahi Usman, confirmed the crisis in the council. He described it as “gorilla welfare.” The Wurkun and Karinjo ethnic groups of the council have been at daggers drawn over where the headquarters of the traditional stool of the area should be situated. The command has blamed the ongoing attacks on the Karinjo community, adding that anti-riot policemen, soldiers, and other security operatives have been dispatched to the area. He also said the Karinjo engaged mercenaries from the nearby Lau local government, a situation which led to the destruction of five villages belonging to the Wurkun. The PPRO, who noted that the command is on top of the situation, said normalcy would soon return to the two communities and the council at large. It would be recalled that a few days before the inauguration of the incumbent administration, over 13 persons were killed, and several houses burnt in the council. The destruction and killings have left many people, the majority of whom were women and children, displaced. A local, Seth Samuel Sule, who said many domestic animals were rustled, appealed to the government to wade into the crisis and deploy more security operatives to the beleaguered community. The recent crisis, which began in the early hours of Saturday, was said to have led to the burning down of houses and destruction of property in Garin Marwa, Sarkin Kudu, Sallamin Kala, and Yashi Pena. According to reports, fleeing persons from Karim-Lamido had sought refuge in nearby councils.
