Nasarawa: Governor Sule disbands two traditional rulers over resource control clash
Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule has disbanded two traditional rulers involved in a violent dispute over resource control.
This move is to restore peace in the Afo chiefdom of Udu Ward and Mararaba Udege, .
The Governor made the announcement on Wednesday while addressing journalists after inspecting the damage caused by the recent clashes in Nasarawa Local Government Area.
The violence, which erupted over leadership and control of community resources, left three people dead and displaced many residents.
Stating the importance of peace, the governor urged the Afo people to embrace unity and reconciliation instead of resorting to violence.
“Lack of understanding among ourselves is often the root cause of crises. This community belongs to the Afo people, but it is also home to other tribes.
“It is time for us to accept one another and work towards the development of the area,” Governor Sule stated.
To ensure a peaceful transition, the governor announced plans to set up a committee, led by a former military officer, to oversee the affected communities and facilitate the selection of a new traditional ruler.
He also issued a stern warning to the rival factions against further violence, stressing that the government would not tolerate actions that threatened the peace and stability of the region.
