Curfew Imposed On Taraba Town Over Tiv/Jukun Conflict

The chairman, Caretaker committee of Gassol local government area of Taraba state, Yahuza Ya’u, has said that curfew was imposed on Dananacha town following disagreement between the Tiv and Jukun that nearly turn bloody.

He said the disagreement was over the erection of a signboard bearing Kwararafa in a secondary school in the town following renaming of the area from Dananacha to Kwararafa.

Yahuza Ya’u said no life was lost but many buildings were razed down and a curfew was imposed to forestall escalation of the problem.

The Jukun were  said to be unhappy with Tiv for refusing to allow  erection of the sign board  which resulted in  exchange of gun shots by both sides.
