Taraba Governor Kefas Delays Lamido Gashaka's Anniversary
On October 28, 2026, Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State announced the postponement of the 10th-year anniversary celebration for Alhaji Zubairu Hammangabdo, the Lamido of Gashaka. This decision was made following violent attacks by bandits on the Binnari community in the Karim Lamido local government area, which led to the deaths of at least 57 individuals.
The anniversary was initially scheduled for October 31, 2026. In a press statement signed by Andrew Godfrey Dame, the Permanent Secretary of the Bureau for Local Government, Traditions and Chieftaincy, it was also revealed that the 50th anniversary of the creation of Zing local government area, set for October 29, 2026, has been postponed as well.
