The Accord Party gubernatorial candidate, Professor Jerome Nyameh, has expressed concern over the rising cases of killings, kidnappings, and destruction of property in parts of Karim Lamido local government council of the state, describing the situation as disturbing.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Nyameh said the persistent violence has created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty that threatens the well-being and progress of affected communities.
He condemned the attacks as barbaric and called for their immediate cessation, stressing that the continued loss of innocent lives and livelihoods is unacceptable.
Nyameh urged the government, traditional rulers, religious leaders, community stakeholders, and security agencies to work together in developing more effective strategies to tackle the growing insecurity in the area.
According to him, with the farming season approaching, residents should be focusing on agricultural activities rather than fleeing for safety. He emphasized the need for farmers to return to their farmlands with confidence, assured that their lives and property are adequately protected.
The Accord candidate further noted that security remains a fundamental right of every citizen and called for equal protection for all residents of Taraba state, regardless of tribe, religion, political affiliation, or location.
He appealed for immediate and decisive action to restore peace and stability in the affected communities, insisting that the time to address the security challenges is now.
