As President Bola Tinubu arrives in Nasarawa State today, Wednesday, to commission major projects carried out by Governor Abdullahi Sule in Lafia, the Tiv Youth Organisation (TYO) is calling for urgent action to stop the ongoing violence and killings affecting Tiv communities in the state.

During a press briefing on Tuesday in Lafia, the group’s president, Comrade Isaiah Audu, expressed deep concern over the rising attacks that have left several Tiv settlements in ruins across four local government areas. Audu described the attacks as unprovoked and deadly, adding that they have led to the loss of innocent lives, destroyed farmlands, and forced thousands of Tiv families to abandon their homes.

Additionally, he mentioned that the latest incidents took place on June 13 and June 15, 2025, affecting communities like Dooga Ayande in Doma LGA, Antsa in Keana LGA, Tse Yange in Obi LGA, and Tse Akura in Giza Area Administrative Council. Among those reportedly killed were Mr. Terfa Tswabee, Mr. Sham Kyodo, Zaki Kwaghtagher Ordue, and Teryem Aondo Apav. Many others were injured, while families continue to flee their homes in search of safety.

Audu urged President Tinubu to use his visit as an opportunity to work with security agencies and state authorities to put an end to the attacks and ensure the safety of Tiv people. “We are Nigerians too, and we deserve to live in peace on our ancestral lands without fear,” Audu stressed. “Mr. President, we are not just asking you to commission projects today; we are asking you to commission peace and justice for the Tiv people of Nasarawa.”

It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.

This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
