Professor Jerome Nyameh Urges Kefas to Visit Affected Communities

Professor Jerome Nyameh has called on Taraba State Governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas, to visit Binnari and other affected communities in Karim-Lamido Local Government Area following the deadly attack by suspected bandits that reportedly claimed dozens of lives.

Nyameh urged the governor to commiserate with bereaved families, assess the extent of the destruction and ensure the immediate provision of relief materials and other support for victims of the attack.

He also called on security agencies to intensify efforts to protect vulnerable communities, track down those responsible for the killings and bring them to justice.

In his appeal, the professor stressed the need for urgent government intervention to address the humanitarian consequences of the attack and prevent a recurrence of the violence.

He maintained that beyond immediate relief efforts, the government must implement concrete security measures to safeguard residents and restore lasting peace to the affected communities.

Nyameh expressed concern over the security situation in Karim-Lamido, insisting that the protection of lives and property must remain a priority for the government and security agencies.

He said the security of residents should not be measured solely by the relative peace enjoyed in Jalingo, the state capital, but by the safety of people in every community across Taraba State.

According to him, lasting peace can only be achieved when residents of Binnari, Karim-Lamido and other parts of the state can conduct their daily activities without fear of attacks.

"Karim Lamido deserves peace. Taraba State deserves peace. Every life matters, regardless of where people live," he said.

The professor further called for collective responsibility in addressing the state's security challenges, warning against any situation in which vulnerable communities are left to face violent attacks without adequate protection.

He urged the government, security agencies, community leaders and other stakeholders to work together to strengthen security and ensure that affected residents receive the necessary assistance.

Nyameh described the situation as a moment requiring compassion, urgent action and a coordinated response to protect lives and restore public confidence.

He prayed for God's comfort for bereaved families, speedy recovery for the injured and lasting peace in Karim-Lamido and the entire Taraba State.
