Tiv/ Jukun crisis: Reps member calls for truce
A Federal House of Representatives member from Takum/Ussa/Donga/Yangtu constituency of Southern Taraba, Rimande Shawulu, has called for truce between the Ichen speaking people of Jukun and the Tiv in the State.
He gave the names of the Ichen towns destroyed as: Gidan Adamu, Gankwe Bariki, Suntai Donga, Zambana, Sanso, Kwassa Sarki, Kwassa Sabo, Dadin Kowa, and Baka Koshi. “The Ichen-Jukun have a grand plan to eliminate the Tiv completely from Taraba State. God knows who started the attack, but Tiv people were attacked, killed and their property destroyed by the Ichen, but the same Ichen are accusing the Tiv of attacking them without provocation.
Rimande Shawulu, a Kuteb lawmaker, called on all stakeholders of the state and the government to find a lasting solution to the crisis before the zone is completely ruined.“The Tiv/Jukun crisis must end now before it consumes us all,” he warned.
