Mr John Bala Gora, chair, Atyap Chiefdom peace committee
By Nengi David
The Chairman Atyap Chiefdom Peace and Security Partnership Committee, (ACPSPC) in Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Mr John Bala Gora says land tussle cannot be enough reason to waste human lives.
Mr Bala Gora stated this while addressing the ACPSPC members during the periodic meeting of the committee at the Agwatyap’s palace, Atak Njei in Zangon Kataf.
Mr Bala Gora said there are civilised ways of resolving issues of contention, adding that resorting to incessant killings of innocent people and wanton destruction of property cannot be the solution.
He observed that the insincerity surrounding the issue of land in Zango has to some extent, marred the quick amicable resolution of the matter.
During the meeting, it was therefore announced that the sub committee on the issue of land has been merged with the main Peace committee to fast track the amicable resolution of the contentions.
The ACPSPC committee Chairman, however, urged the members to embark on self appraisal of the performance of the committee in line with its mandate generally so as to remain on course.
At the end of the meeting a nine man youth committee including Atyap, Hausa and Fulani was set up under the leadership of Mr Mugu Zakka Bako to discuss amongst themselves solutions to the lingering conflicts in the Atyap chiefdom and report back to the main committee in two weeks.
