<h4>Traditional Tussle Heightens Anxiety In Taraba State</h4>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/">OpenLife Nigeria</a></strong> reports that anxiety has heightened in Taraba State as Governor Agbu Kefas has ordered the immediate suspension of the alleged proposed plans to coronate a monarch in Takum local government council.</p>
<p>The directive is coming barely a few hours after a group in a world press conference urged the governor and security operatives to stop the event from seeing the light of the day in order to avoid a situation of lawlessness in the State.</p>
<p>Plans, it would be recalled, have been concluded by some persons to impose the title of Makama of Takum on the people of Takum chiefdom.</p>
<p>Dishing out the directive on Friday through the Bureau for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, the governor threatened to dethrone any monarch that indulges in such an act.</p>
<p>The directive which was contained in a circular signed by the permanent secretary of the Bureau, Babangida Hassan, expressed sadness that despite the ban on coronation and appointment of village and district heads, some few persons have continued to defile the directive.</p>
<p>Reports reaching the state government, according to the circular &#8221; indicate that some traditional rulers in the state have continued to defy our circular No. GHJ/BLG&;CA/S.260T dated 30thJune,2023 and other previous circular.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.vanguardngr.com/">The governor who vowed not to condone such acts believed that such&#8221;trend of behavior portends imminent danger.</a></p>
<p>Adding that&#8221;it can serve as a remote or immediate cause of communal clashes leading to loss of lives and destruction of properties.&#8221;</p>
<p>Vowing not to condone such behaviour, he said &#8220;it is therefore against this backdrop that the government has further directed that no traditional ruler should contemplate the coronation or installation of any person or group of person without permission from the state government.&#8221;</p>
<p>Whosoever does the contrary, as clearly stated in the circular &#8220;may be published severely including dethronement from the throne.&#8221;</p>
<p>Security operatives, as gathered by our reporter, have been deployed to the council in order to prevent outbreak of orderliness.</p>
