Displaced Taraba community members lament gov Kefas absence at mass burial of over 30 people

From Godwin Agia, Jalingo

The displaced members of munga Lalau and Munga Doso communities of Karim Lamidi local government area in Taraba state, have expressed disappointment over governor Agbu decision to ignore the mass burial of over 30 people killed in the communities on Friday night by herdsmen.

They expressed dismay over the governor’s action, describing it as inhuman.

Peoples Daily reports that governor Agbu Kefas jetted out of Taraba state at the time the communities were preparing to conduct a mass burial of the over 30 people killed by herdsmen in the area.

“This is inhuman of governor Kefas. Imagine over 30 people have been killed and the governor didn’t mind to visit, rather he has left the state now that we are preparing to conduct a mass burial”. Elder Ayuba Nbuyu, a community leader lamented.

Mr. Solomon Dashu and Kasu-Mai Abu, vigilante members in the community also expressed worry that governor Kefas’ absent at the event and his eventual departure out of the state was a clear indication that he does not value human lives.

“It’s unfortunate governor Agbu Kefas has displayed a character that proved he doesn’t have regards for human lives. Over 30 people have been killed here and the governor didn’t even visit to see things for himself. Today, we are conducting a mass burial but the governor has rather jetted out of Taraba entirely.”
