Senator Manu Appeals For Calm Following Clash Between

The senator representing Taraba Central, Sen. Haruna Manu, has appealed for calm and peaceful coexistence following the recent clash between Fulani and Mambilla communities in Sardauna Local Government Area of Taraba State.

Manu, in a statement personally signed by him, expressed condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the violence and urged residents to put the incident behind them and embrace peace.

The clash reportedly occurred last Tuesday in Mbamga communities, along the Nigeria-Cameroon border, leaving nine residents dead.

Reacting to the development, the senator called on his constituents and members of the affected communities to remain calm and avoid actions that could further escalate tensions.

“I want to appeal for understanding and plead with the families of the victims of the clash. This development is uncalled for, especially at this trying period for all and sundry,” Manu said.

The former Taraba State deputy governor also praised security operatives for restoring peace to the communities.

Manu urged the various communities to continue to promote peaceful coexistence and work together to prevent a recurrence of violence in the area.
