President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed
concern over reports of violence in four communities in Biase Local Government
Area of Cross River State.
The violence has reportedly
resulted in the loss of lives, injuries and displacement of villagers.
In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu,
Buhari called for calm and restoration of peace in the affected communities
bordering Abia State.
The President urged the people of
the areas to allow law and order to prevail.
“Our communities must be ready to
live together in peace since no development can take place in an atmosphere of
recurring violence,” he said.
Buhari, who commended the state
government for the steps taken so far towards bringing peace to the areas, also
lauded the State Police Command for speedily mobilizing its personnel to the
affected communities to contain the crisis.
He went on to urge all
stakeholders to cooperate and ensure that lasting peace returned to the
