By SM Manager
AREWA AGENDA – As the wildfire of wanton insecurity across the country rages on helplessly unabated, residents of Taraba Communities are having their fair of the insecurity situation.
They now cry out to the relevant authorities for help against incessant attacks of bandits and kidnappers in their ancestral community which was hitherto peaceful and a darling of every visitor.
Insecurity is now ripping their communities apart, endearing to be sitting at the edges of their chairs, having to sleep with one eye closed and the other one opened in the traumatising anticipation that the deadly beasts of kidnappers and bandits will strike.
