The Chikam Community of Tarangol, Bokkos Local Government Area (LGA) of Plateau, has commended security agencies for evicting strange inhabitants who forcefully occupied the land without any legal or customary claim.

The community, in a counter complaint, said that the individuals were not native to the area and their presence was a source of tension, as the native farmlands were consistently being destroyed.

The counter-complaint was signed by Mr Daniel Peter, Youth Leader, Chikam; Mr Patrick Danladi, Youth President, Tarangol; Mr Bitrus Mabur, Secretary, Chikam Youth; and Mr Amos Malo, Mai Angwan, Chikam, and made available to newsmen on Sunday in Jos.

It would be recalled that Alh. Saleh Yusuf, Alh. Umar Ori, and Alh. Mohammed Gorte earlier wrote a complaint to the Plateau Commissioner of Police alleging that their village at Chikam was razed by security agencies and two calves were killed and food destroyed.

But the counter-complainants said that the actions of the complainants, including their submission of unfounded accusations to the Commissioner of Police, were deliberate attempts to cause disunity, incite violence, and disrupt the fragile peace of Tarangol.

“Alh. Nuhu Ibrahim had been living peacefully in our community for some time and was not targeted or driven out. He voluntarily chose to leave a few days after the intruders were evicted.

“They are not members of Chikam, and their actions should be seen for what they are. A calculated effort to create chaos where there has been none.

“We, therefore, urge the relevant authorities to thoroughly investigate the actions and intentions of these individuals. Their behaviour threatens public order and the peace of our community.

“We trust that this counter-complaint will receive the urgent attention it deserves to prevent any further breakdown of law and order in the region.

“We also reiterate that our community has remained law-abiding, refraining from retaliatory actions despite the immense losses we have suffered.

“However, we implore the security agencies to swiftly intervene, as the situation could escalate if not addressed promptly,” they added.
