He added that the state government and its partners agreed to suspend and control the use of motorcycles in four LGAs which were the front-line areas.
He noted that the recent crisis in Fika and Fune axes, especially in Gurjaje village, was not an ethnic or tribal conflict, but rather caused by the influx of immigrant pastoralists.
