Tiv Youths Beg Tinubu to Help Stop Killings as He Visits Nasarawa
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.”
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
