From Yusha’u Alhassan Jalingo.
Taraba State acting governor, Alhaji Garba Umar has directed the Peace Initiative Committee to go round the southern part of the state and identify specific local government areas that have refused to comply with the peace agreements signed few months ago in Wukari.
The Acting Governor gave the directive yesterday at the government House when the committee visited him in his office over renewed unrest in Wukari and Ibi local government areas.
Umar said the peace committee should enter all nooks and crannies of the affected LGs to find out what led to the current hostilities.
He said another high-powered committee would be inaugurated and sent to Bali, Gassol and Donga local government areas to preach peace.
The special committee according to the Acting Governor will also visit Wukari and Ibi local government areas to canvass for peace and the importance of harmonious co-existence.
The Acting Governor said his administration was committed to the protection of lives and property and called on those who fled to come back.
The national vice president of Miyetti Allah and chairman of various groups involved in the peace reconciliation in the state, were among those that visited the acting governor.
