Killings: We’ve lost confidence in FG’s security apparatus, says Taraba govt

The Taraba State Government has said that it has lost confidence in the Federal Government’s security apparatus in the state, particularly the military.

The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Mr. Bala Abu…. stated, “As of now, the state is relatively at peace. Even with the relative peace in Taraba, we do not have confidence in the military that is there. We have lost confidence in the military and we have not regained it.

“We do not have confidence in the Federal Government’s security apparatus in Taraba. People are being disarmed. They are discriminatory in the way they are doing it. They invade people’s homes to seize machetes and kitchen knives and leave Fulani herdsmen that go about with AK 47.”
