The Taraba State Police Command has said calm has returned to the Takum Local Government Area after the clash between two ethnic groups that led to killings on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The clashes were said to have been necessitated by the gruesome killings of some cow vendors by one of the ethnic groups.<\/p>\n

The casualties figures, which some residents said was above ten, was, however, denied by the police who claimed that \u201cas at yesterday, only four casualties were recorded.\u201d<\/p>\n

Making the confirmation, on Monday, the command Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Abdullahi Usman, said normalcy has returned to the council.<\/p>\n

This, according to him, was made possible following the massive deployment of security operatives to the troubled local government councils.<\/p>\n

Apart from the heavily armed anti-riot policemen said to have been deployed to the area, soldiers from the 93 Battalion, the police said, have as well been drafted to the crisis areas.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson of the command, who gave the casualties figures as four, said the crisis would have taken a different dimension but for the swift intervention of the security forces.<\/p>\n

The genesis of the crisis was observed to have been linked to the attack on a van conveying cattle to the nearby market which led to the killings of the occupants.<\/p>\n

A reprisal attack<\/a> by the rival ethnic group sparked the clash in Takum, the administrative headquarters of the council where houses were not only destroyed, but lives of innocent souls terminated.<\/p>\n

The crisis came barely two weeks after the council Caretaker chairman, Boyi Manja, regained his freedom from kidnappers who whisked him away along Takum\/Wukari road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
