Governor of Taraba State and Benue State, Agbu Kefas and Hyacinth Alia, have intensified efforts to curb rising insecurity along their shared border, holding a high-level peace meeting with traditional rulers in Wukari.
The meeting, held in Kefas’ hometown, Wukari Local Government Area, was part of renewed moves by both administrations to restore calm in communities plagued by killings, displacement and destruction of property.
The talks came amid fresh attacks by gunmen suspected to be herders in Takum, Donga, Ussa and Wukari local government areas of Southern Taraba, as well as adjoining border communities in Benue.
Addressing traditional rulers and stakeholders, the governors emphasised collaboration between the two states as critical to ending the violence and rebuilding trust among affected communities.
