The government said the curfew was necessary to stop the clashes from worsening.
The Taraba State Government has imposed a 24-hour curfew on communities involved in the communal clashes in Karim Lamido Local Government.
Residents of the communities were enjoined to comply with the directive, as security agencies have been directed to enforce the curfew vigorously, Mr Sanda said. “The Karimjos are busy burning our houses, looting our properties and stealing our animals; people are running for their lives”, a resident of Sabon Gari, who gave his name as Sunday, a Wurkun, told PREMIUM TIMES.
Abbah Mato, a Karimjo leader, disputes the narrative of the Wurkuns while speaking with PREMIUM TIMES; he said the Wurkuns have repeatedly accused them falsely.
