Niger State Governor Umaru Bago has visited Kagara in Rafi Local Government Area following the deadly conflict between the Fulani and Kamuku communities that has claimed 256 lives and displaced hundreds of residents.
The governor’s visit came eight days after a high-powered state government delegation was sent to the area to broker peace following the outbreak of violence.
According to the state government, the clashes have left 256 people dead and more than 145 houses destroyed, forcing many families to flee their homes.
Addressing traditional rulers, community leaders and residents, Governor Bago attributed the crisis to land disputes and local political differences, which he said were exploited by criminal elements to fuel the violence.
To prevent a recurrence, the governor announced an immediate suspension of all land transactions in Kagara, declaring that no land would be sold or allocated without the approval of the Niger State Government.
He assured residents of his administration’s commitment to restoring peace, strengthening security and ensuring that those responsible for the violence are brought to justice.
