Taraba State governor, Darius Ishaku, has raised
alarm over influx of Boko Haram members into
the state.
According to him, the influx has made the state
relatively unsafe, following recent attacks which
gave rise to internally displaced persons, IDPs.
The governor, who raised the alarm while playing
host to senators in his office in Jalingo, said recent
arrests and interrogations by security agents
indicated a high rate of influx to the state.

The senators were in the state on fact- finding mission to IDPs camps in the state.

Governor Ishaku. said it was the responsibility of the Federal Government to take
proactive measures to forestall any breakdown of
law and order, urging the senators to evolve ways
of tackling issues of insurgency in the country,
particularly in the North-East, which had been
ravaged by Boko Haram.
Earlier in his speech, leader of the delegation,
Senator Kabiru Gaya (Kano South), told the
governor that the team was in the state to
authenticate the number of IDPs in the state and
look into ways of supporting them.
It would be recalled that the senator representing
Taraba South, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, had
earlier this year raised at the Senate, alleging high
influx of unknown persons into Taraba State.
