The House of Representatives calls on the Federal Government and security agencies to urgently intervene following renewed communal violence in Taraba State. The clashes involve the Karinjo and Wurkun communities in Karim Lamido Local Government Area. According to multiple reports, the fighting results in deaths and displacement of residents. The House says at least five people are killed, and that the violence forces residents to flee their homes, with hundreds reported displaced. The lawmakers urge the federal government to take action to restore peace and prevent further escalation between the communities. The reports describe the violence as fresh or renewed, indicating that tensions have led to repeated outbreaks rather than a single incident. The House also directs attention to the need for security measures and effective response by relevant agencies operating in the affected area. The reports do not attribute responsibility for the clashes to any party, and focus on the humanitarian impact—loss of life and displacement—alongside the call for stronger government and security intervention.
