The Nasarawa State Chapter of National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has condemned the recent attack on three communities in Karu Local Government Area of the State.

He however lauded the state government for its swift response that has curtailed the situation and restored normalcy to the affected communities. 

“The situation is uncalled for and we described it as calculated attempt to truncate the peace we are enjoying in the state as well as to create another political tension while the preparations for the inauguration of new administration is at the advanced level.

“We called on the teaming youths of our dear state to continue to remain law-abiding, peace ambassadors, to also provide security with relevant intelligence and never allow to be used as agents of destruction and chaos as no society develop in an atmosphere of rancour and instability. 

“As the most populated segment of society, young people are prone to be victims of circumstances of this nature and mostly affected by every crisis.

“Nasarawa State belongs to all of us and we must continue to advocate for peaceful coexistence, unity and Development,” the statement reads further. 

Unknown gunmen suspected to be fulani herdsmen had on Thursday May 11 invaded Takalafia, Gwanja and Angwan Bege communities where they killed the pastor in-charge of the community's Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), Rev. Daniel Danbeki and other residents. 

Scores of other residents also sustained various degrees of injuries and properties worth millions of naira were destroyed during the attack which lasted till early hours of Friday May 12, 2023.
