Stakeholders Seek Unified Approach to Address Security Concerns in Madagwan Hausawa

Stakeholders in Madagwan Hausawa, Lafia local government, are advocating for a unified approach to address potential threats to peace and security in the area.

This move comes after a meeting was held in Madagwan Hausawa to discuss the recent influx of unfamiliar herders, which has caused fear among residents.

The Village Head, Idris Muhammad Ahmed, emphasized the need for a lasting solution to the ongoing conflicts between farmers and herders, particularly as the harvest season approaches.

He cautioned community members against taking the law into their own hands and stressed the importance of reporting any suspicious activities to security agencies.

The chairman of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Ahmadu Haruna, acknowledged the growing presence of unknown herders and underscored the need for a collaborative effort to address the issue.

Representatives from various security agencies urged community members to remain vigilant and inform authorities about any unfamiliar individuals that may pose a threat to peace and safety.

Youth representatives also stressed the importance of community unity and cooperation in addressing suspicious activities that could undermine peace in the area.

The meeting aimed to promote a unified approach to addressing security concerns and mitigating tensions before they escalate.

This move is crucial, especially in Nasarawa state, which has experienced violence involving herder and farmer militias, kidnappings, and ethno-communal clashes.

The stakeholders’ collaborative effort is a step towards ensuring peace and security in Madagwan Hausawa and the surrounding areas.
