Nigeria’s federal government and leaders from Tiv and Jukun communities in Taraba and Benue States have outlined solutions to lingering crises between the two ethnic groups.
The meeting, which held on Wednesday, also had deputy governors of the two states, speakers of the houses of assembly, other political leaders, and traditional leaders from the two. The communique jointly signed by Messrs Mustapha, Ortom and Ishaku, identified “the issue of criminality such as banditry, kidnapping and armed robbery” as some of the causes of the communal clashes.
The meeting also recommended “massive deployment of security forces for intensive patrol and surveillance of the affected communities to checkmate the excesses of criminals and enforce law and order on the border corridors of Taraba and Benue States”.
