The Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku has appealed to the Tivs and Jukuns in the state to lay down their arms and embrace peace.
Ishaku, who made the appeal in a statewide broadcast while wishing Muslims a happy Sallah Celebration, on Sunday, said his administration has consistently synergised and engaged with the leadership of the two faiths in the state in a bid to finding religious fulfilment.
The governor, therefore, appealed to the groups to see each other as brothers and sisters, adding that violence does no one no good.
He reminded Muslims in the state of the need to make sacrifices and imbibe the great lessons of humility and tolerance as exemplified by the great prophet of Islam.
