The Ichen community of Bissaula in Kurmi Local Government Area of Taraba State has enjoined the state Governor, Darius Ishaku, to quickly ensure the immediate deployment of soldiers to the community to curb the incessant attacks and killings in the area.
Addressing a press conference in Jalingo at the weekend on behalf of the Ichen community, Elder Ebi Bako enjoined the governor to as a matter of urgency, facilitate the permanent deployment of soldiers to the community to quell the killings. Bako told newsmen that the community came under fresh attack on August 14 just a day after ammunition being conveyed to the militia group perpetrating the attacks was intercepted at Didan, a community within the local government area.
As a recipe to permanent peace in the community, Bako appealed for the submission of the report of the Commission of Inquiry set up by the state government to unravel the issues around the Ichen/Ndaka crisis.
