By Amina Mohammed, Lafia.
A group under the name United Farmers Association Kadarko (UFAK), has called on the state governments to come to their rescue after the incessant attacks on both humans and farmland in the Kardarko community of Keana Local government of the state.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Chairman of, United Farmers Association of Kadarko community, Mr. Dennis Utsa, and issued to journalists in Lafia, the state capital.
Usta said that farmers from Ayua, Upuur, Ngur, Kpelev, Bature, Antsa, Kwara, Adootu communities in Keana local government area had been living in an IDP camp since the villages were attacked and destroyed.
He therefore appealed to the government to beef up security in the communities, rebuild their destroyed houses, provide basic amenities, and return them to their homes to enable farmers to take care of their families.
Utsa further said that the IDP camp in Kadarko had been taken over by the Federal Road Safety Corps and appealed that it be reverted to a temporary shelter pending the rebuilding of IDPs’ destroyed communities.
He, however, appealed to the government to include them among beneficiaries of the palliative on fuel subsidy removal.
“We in the IDPs were already vulnerable and the effects of the removal of fuel subsidy had worsened our situation”, he added.
