In a motion moved on Wednesday by some members; Hon. Abubakar John Tanko, Takum , Hon. John Lamba, Takum , Hon. Joshua Urenyang, Ussa, Hon. Angye Josiah Yaro, Wukari , Hon. Jethro Yakubu, Wukari and Hon. Annas Shuaibu – Karim-Lamido , urged the respective government to urgently arrest the security situations in the various constituencies.
The joint motion which was read by Hon. Tanko of Takum stated that unknown gunmen have rained attacks on several villages/communities in parts of Southern Taraba as well as in Karim-Lamido Local Government Area of the State. In the motion, the members further noted that, the sporadic and unprovoked attacks in their constituencies have led to wanton destruction of lives and properties including farmlands and other means of livelihood of the people in the constituencies.
“Our concern is that, the people affected by the crisis have been rendered homeless, without food, access to health care and education, thereby exposing them to famine, diseases, hardship and other inconveniences of displacement. The members also noted that the crisis which has persisted, is snowballing into banditry and also fast spreading to some neighboring communities in Donga and Kurmi Local Governments Areas respectively, thereby jeopardising the stability and farming activities in the areas.
