Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas is urging Nigerians to support the army in their battle against insecurity in the country.
Kefas made the call at the Inter-Denominational Service as part of activities to mark the 2023 Army Day Celebration at the Anglican Cathedral Jalingo.
The Secretary to the Government of Taraba State, Chief Gebon Kataps who represented the governor notes that as a former army officer, his administration would support the army in the best ways possible to help secure Taraba which is a border state.
In his homely Rt. Reverend Foreman Nedison, the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Jalingo urged the army officers and soldiers to be selfless in service to humanity.
Still in the acclaimed Nature’s Gift to the Nation, Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas has imposed a 24-hour curfew on Karim town, the headquarters of Karim Lamido Local Government Area and its environs effective July 2, 2023.
The curfew was necessitated by renewed communal conflicts in some parts of the local government area after the killing of over thirty lives.
In a statement, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Yusuf Sanda says security agencies have been mandated to ensure strict compliance and any person or group of persons found violating the order should be dealt with in accordance with the law.
