Many people have been killed and properties destroyed in a communal clash between Gungura people in Ganjuwa local government area of Bauchi state and Buri-Buri people of Dukku local government area of Gombe State.
A member representing Ganjuwa East Constituency in the Bauchi State House of Assembly, Gazali Wunti, disclosed on Wednesday this during the plenary.
Wunti said at about 3am on Wednesday people from Dukku local government area of Gombe State attacked a Bara village in Gungura ward of Bauchi, killed many people and destroyed their houses.
He said that the incident had been recurring for some time but efforts to settle the disputes have failed.
Wunti stated that people of his constituency have been patient for so many years, despite several attacks.
While urging the House to send a committee to sympathise with the community, Wunti asked the state government to take urgent action on the matter.
The Member representing Kirfi Constituency, Abdulkadir Dewu, described the incident as worrisome which needs urgent intervention.
He suggested that since the issue involved security, a joint committee on Special Duties and Security should be tasked to go and sympathize with people of the area.
After contributions from other members, the House adopted the motion and directed its Clerk to communicate the resolution to the executive arm and directed its committees on security and special duties to visit the area and sympathise with the people.
