He also alled for the deployment of special security forces in the state to stop the regrouping process before it becomes too late.
Governor Ishaku said: “The massive influx of people into Taraba for some time now has been the major cause of insecurity. But when I was warning of the repercussions, I was accused of being against visitors. Today all of us are victims of their criminal activities.
“The terrorists are today committing all sorts of criminal activities, including molestation, kidnapping and killings. People cannot travel freely on Bali-Suntai-Takum Road, among other routes, any longer in
Ishaku also suggested ranching as the best and easiest way out of the bloody clashes between farmers, grazers and cattle rustlers.

He concluded: “Our problem in Nigeria is that we don’t tell ourselves the truth. Why do herders go round freely with AK-47 rifles and are not arrested? Where are the guns coming from? We need to have deep reflections on these issues and prevent further loss of lives.”
Meanwhile, barely a day ago, on May 17, ZENITHBLOG.com reported that two soldiers were left injured after a female Boko Haram bomber launched a surprise attack on a military checkpoint in the Konduga area of Borno state.
The attack was carried out by a female terrorist. It was reported that the terrorist pretended to be chatting with a soldier at the military check-point and even asked for his phone number before detonating her explosive.
