At least thirty people have been killed in renewed violence in the North-Central Plateau State, where clashes between herders and farmers have erupted for years.
The killings and burning of houses have continued in Mangu town of Mangu Local Government area of Plateau State, despite the 24-hour curfew imposed by the government.
Reacting to the violence, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen in strongest terms, condemned the recurring attacks.
Tajudeen, according to a statement by his media aide, Musa Krishi, hinted that the lower chamber would take a strong position upon its resumption from the Christmas and New Year break next Tuesday, January 30.
He also promised to meet with President Bola Tinubu on the matter, just as he called for peace on both sides.
While calling on the various security agencies to take decisive action to arrest the situation, he commended the Plateau State Government for declaring a curfew in Mangu, saying a lot needs to be done for everlasting peace in the state.
