Speaker of Taraba State House of Assembly, Prof. Joseph Albasu Kunini has condemned in strong terms the bomb blast that rocked Iware market on Tuesday, April 19, 2022.
Seven persons were killed and scores injured in the blast.
A statement by the Chief of Staff to the Speaker, Sukuji Bakoji, said the speaker who made the condemnation at Wednesday’s plenary, described the dastardly act by the faceless people as bestial and inhuman, considering the relative peace the state has enjoyed.
Kunini said “the disdainful and dastardly act by the miscreants came at the time when the state government has been doing everything humanly possible for peace to reign and ensure security of lives and property of the people.”
Against this backdrop, he urged the security agencies to brace up and tackle the ugly trend head on, because the state, hitherto described as the most peaceful in the North East geopolitical zone, could not afford to witness the carnage and new wave of terrorism.
Sukuji quoted the speaking as calling on the indigenes of the state to be vigilant and conscious of the people they relate with, as well as report suspicious persons to the appropriate authorities, especially with the commencement of the electioneering campaigns.
The statement said the Speaker has also condoled Ardo Kola local government area, the District Head of Iware and the State government on the ugly incident.
