The Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria in Niger State, Most Reverend Dr. Bulus Dauwa Yohanna, has intervened in ongoing communal clashes between the Bargarawas, Fulanis, and Kambari tribes in the Borgu and Agwara Local Government Areas. He has called for restraints on the combatants and urged them to cease destructive actions and embrace peace.
The clashes, which have claimed lives and damaged property, are attributed to the infiltration of bad elements from other countries. Dr. Yohanna emphasized that the communities have coexisted peacefully for decades and appealed to all tribes to maintain calm and work with security agents to eliminate the troublemakers. He also called on vigilance groups, youths, and ethnic groups to channel their grievances appropriately and urged the Emir of Borgu to establish a peace and conflict resolution committee to facilitate fair discussions among the ethnic groups.
Dr. Yohanna praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Niger State Governor Alhaji Mohammed Umaru Bago for their efforts in enhancing security in the affected areas.
