CAMEROONIAN SOLDIERS INVADE TARABA COMMUNITIES,HARASS VILLAGERS.[PHOTO].

Amamzalla John Danladi Joseph, the Chairman of Kurmi Local Government Area of Taraba State, has decried the presence of Cameroonian soldiers in some villages of his council.


The foreign soldiers, he said, have been going about harassing and intimidating the villagers with the pretext of searching for their citizens who had fled to the area.


The country, it would be recalled, had in the past years been facing a civil war following the quest for self independence by some sections of the country.


The upheaval has forced some of its citizens to flee to some parts of Taraba as refugees.


Joseph claimed the soldiers were in Mairogo and Tosso.


“The residents of Mairogo and Tosso villages were repeatedly intimidated by the Cameroonian soldiers who claimed they were searching for Ambazonian agitators who fled Cameroon at the heat of their clash recently and took refuge in some communities in the area.”


The chairman, who also said he and the Commanding Officer in charge of the Nigerian Army 93 Battalion in Takum council of the state, in company of no fewer than 60 soldiers, visited the villages at the instance of the state governor, Arc. Darius Dickson Ishaku, said he was displeased with the acts of the foreign soldiers.
