The governor of Taraba state Darius Ishaku
has expressed deep concern over the recent
sensational reports particularly on security
matters in the state by some media houses.
The governor who spoke through his senior
special assistant on media and publicity Mr.
Sylvanus Giwa lamented that recent report by
some media houses was capable of
discouraging the return of the Internal
Displaced Persons, IDPs who were affected
by last year’s communal crisis.


Giwa stated this while speaking with
journalist in his office at Government House
in Jalingo the Taraba state capital.
The governor frowned at the unverifiable
report by a journalist in the state that the
IDPs who were returning to their various
homes in the state were not guaranteed
security .

“The reporter said there were no security
measures put in place to guarantee the
return of the IDPs. But all eyes here in the
state are watching and are in know to what
extent the governor is providing security not
just for the IDPs, but to all citizens in the
state”

Giwa further stated that since his
assumption, the governor has released all
the arsenals inrelation to security so as to
ensure that all tribes and ethnics in the state
coexisted in peace and as well see to
rehabilitation of IDPs into their various
homes.


“Governor Ishaku has been engaging the
security agencies in fighting crime and
communal clashes, also spending so much
time to dialogue with stakeholders on
security matters, he vow that whoever
breaches peace has no place to stay in
Taraba and that has been his stand”
Giwa said the governor has promised to
respect and partner with responsible
journalist to develop the state. He avowed
that the governor would not hesitate to take
legal action against any report that is capable
of coursing disunity among the people in
Taraba state.
