Adamawa Raises Alarm Over Herdsmen Attacks

Some Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) react during the visit of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi to their Bakassi Camp in Maiduguri.

Governor Mohammed Jibrilla of Adamawa State has raised the alarm that the state might be facing a humanitarian crisis due to the herdsmen-farmers crisis.

Jibrilla said this on Thursday in a statement, where he also noted that there were many Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from places affected by the crisis in Taraba.

According to him, the development was due to a spill-over of the crisis in Bajum-center in Taraba.

This is just as he bemoaned the continued influx of the IDPs into Gorobi in Mayo-Belwa area and Kpasam in Demsa, Adamawa.

He was worried that the present situation had worsened the humanitarian crises in the northeastern state.
