Adamu M. MuhammadGuestNanchuant KiliGuestLukman Awol AgunuHostThe insecurity in our communities, particularly in Andamin, and surrounding villages in Karimlamidu LGA, Taraba State, has been a serious concern for a long time.
Our peoples have experienced repeated attacks by armed groups, killing, kidnapping and cattle wrestling.
This situation has caused fear and uncertainty among the residents.
Many peoples are upright to go to their farms, traders struggle to conduct their businesses.
and some families have been forced to flee their homes for safety.
Honestly, we have not received any response from the police.
Despite the fact that we have ordered some police out force in our communities, but they are not responding to this issue of banditry in our community.
The support we have received has come from the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Hunters Association.
under the leadership of Aladji Babangira, known as a commander, Babangira commander.
In response to the worsening insecurity, the Andaman Wards Unity and Progress Forum leads a delegation to various security agencies in Jalingo last two weeks or three weeks ago, including visit to 114 Battalion, uh taraba state police headquarters and then taraba state dss head office i was oh i'm among the delegation uh to present our concern and seek urgent intervention uh from the agencies and we appreciate the effort of the nigerian army particularly uh the recent operation to recapture Dukun Town.
However, we believe more sustained security operations and stronger security presence are necessary to protect our communities.
We still need more consistent protection to restore lasting peace in our community.
From my little experience, The major challenges that the security agencies are facing in my community, the first one is a poor road network and also inadequate security presence and insufficient equipment from the security personnel, especially our local hunters who are contributing to the solving of this insecurity.
And also, some of our communities are remote and difficult to access, making it challenging for security agencies to respond quickly when attacks occur or happen in our community, especially Andaman village or Andaman community.
If my state had its own police We will expect a faster response to security threats, especially in remote and vulnerable communities like ours in Andamine and surrounding villages.
The police should also work closely to traditional leaders and community members to gather intelligence and prevent attacks before they happen or before they occur or before the occurrence of attacks.
Most importantly, we want a security system that understands our local challenges and gives our people the confidence to return to their farms and live peacefully without fear of any kidnapping or attacks from the bandits.
