Fresh Communal Clashes in Taraba State Leave Several Dead, Villages Deserted

Renewed communal clashes in Taraba State, particularly in Karim Lamido Local Government Area, have led to several deaths and the desertion of villages due to ongoing violence triggered by farmland ownership disputes. Eyewitnesses report a harrowing situation with residents fleeing attacks, leaving once vibrant settlements deserted.

Efforts by Governor Agbu Kefa and local leaders like Abner Shittu and Virginia Baba Bambur are focused on restoring peace through dialogue and collaboration. Security measures, including patrols by the Taraba State Police Command, are gradually being restored to the affected areas.
