The Federal Capital Territory Administration has warned traditional rulers, community leaders and youth groups against shielding perpetrators of farmers-herders clashes in Gwagwalada Area Council, insisting that those responsible must be brought to justice. Three people were killed, while several shops and goods were burnt during the violence at Paikon-Kore village market. The clash reportedly began on Saturday afternoon and continued until Sunday morning. The Director of Security in the office of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, gave the warning at a stakeholders’ meeting convened by the Gwagwalada Area Council chairman, Kasim Mohammed Ikwa, following the incident. He urged community leaders to cooperate with security agencies to identify those behind the violence and prevent further attacks, warning that the administration would no longer tolerate a conspiracy of silence. The security director also called on traditional rulers, village and district heads, Fulani leaders and youth groups to work together to restore peace, cautioning that failure to address the crisis could compel security agencies to adopt tougher measures. Meanwhile, the Gwagwalada Area Council chairman, Kasim Mohammed Ikwa, attributed the recurring clashes in Paikon-Kore to increasing pressure on farmland, population growth and development in the area.
