Northern senators demands justice for victims of Taraba attack

The Northern Senators Forum has called for justice for victims of the October 23 attack that caused widespread destruction in the Binari community of Taraba State's Karim-Lamido Local Government Council. In a condolence message, forum leader Senator Abdulaziz Musa Yar'Adua condemned the killings, expressing sympathy with the community and families of the victims.

Yar'Adua described the attack as "barbaric" and called on security agencies to strengthen operations in the area, establish a Forward Operating Base, and deploy intelligence-led patrols along the Kompany-Asusar route to prevent further attacks. The forum emphasized the need for coordinated security measures to track down and prosecute perpetrators, as well as immediate humanitarian assistance for affected residents.

The attack, which occurred shortly after Juma’at prayers, claimed the lives of worshippers, vigilantes, women, and children, reigniting calls for stronger security measures in vulnerable communities across Taraba State.
