Taraba youths send back over 400 IDPs from Zamfara

Following the recent massacre in Zamfara, the gathered report revealed youths in Taraba told trailer drivers carrying over 400 IDPs to return to Zamfara State, saying that they are part of the evil taking place in their areas.

A resident, who could not give his name, confirmed that the youths insisted the strangers must leave the town as they would not compromise the peace and security network set up in the area.

“When people are complaining about the insecurity situation in the country and people are rising to defend their areas, some people from the far north think we are bleating because the president is not from our area. If you talk about happenings in the country, they tag you as an enemy of the north. But look at what the north is now producing and they are fleeing their areas because of the evil that has been allowed for too long to find footing in the area.

“I do not blame the youths in Bali. In Nigeria today, if you house them they go and bring more and before you know they are everywhere and that is how the problem begins. We can not afford such problems in Taraba State. We have enough problems already,” he told Daily Post.
