Fulani Invasion: Taraba community commends Gov. Ishaku for quick deployment of security to the Ugondo area

By Hassan Ishaku, Jalingo.

The Ugondo community resident in Jalingo, Taraba State capital has commended Gov Darius Ishaku for his quick deployment of security for the protection of the displaced persons after the Fulani attack on the Tor-Damsa community in Donga local government area of Taraba state.

You may recall that suspected Fulani herdsmen attacked 15 communities within the Tor-Damsa area, in Donga local government, killing over 26 people, injuring many, and destroying properties worth billions of naira.

Hon. Aaron Dooga Gbashi, Leader of the Ugondo Community in Jalingo made the commendation while briefing newsmen on Tuesday in Jalingo.

Gbashi, a former member of the Taraba state House of Assembly representing Donga state constituency, however, appealed to the state government to increase the number of security personnel deployed to the affected area to be able to foster any pending attack on the Tor-Damsa community.

He also draws the attention of the security agencies to the looting spree launched by Tor-Damsa neighbors.

The leader also appealed to the state government and well-meaning citizens to provide relief materials to the displaced people in the area.

Gbashi also called on the Ugondo people to remain calm as the government was taking serious steps to ensure that such attacks did not.
