The Chairman of Wukari Local Government Council of Taraba State, Dauda Samaila, has firmly denied circulating social media reports alleging a campaign enforcing due process on Tiv villages, urging returning refugees to comply with specific protocols.
In an official statement released on Wednesday to journalists in the state, the council boss dismissed the claims, emphasizing that there has never been any consideration for such measures against returning refugees.
