The House of Representatives on Wednesday called on the Federal Government and security agencies to urgently intervene in the renewed communal violence between the Karinjo and Wurkun communities in Karim Lamido Local Government Area of Taraba State, which has left at least five people dead and displaced hundreds of residents.
The resolution followed the adoption of a motion sponsored by Rep. Mohammed Audu, who raised concerns over the deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in the area.
Moving the motion during plenary, Audu said the latest outbreak of violence occurred on May 29, 2026, resulting in the death of no fewer than five persons, injuries to several others, and widespread destruction of homes, farmlands, crops and livestock worth millions of naira.
