The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) has has cried out after they lost eight of its members in killer herdsmen and farmers clashes in Adamawa State.
Speaking while briefing journalists in Yola, the Adamawa state capital on Thursday, Rodney Nathan, the state chairman of the The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), said the union lost eight of its members in recent herdsmen /farmers clashes in Adamawa State, adding that the clashes led to the displacement of hundreds of teachers from the flashpoint areas.
He said: ”In the recent crisis that engulfed some parts of the state, we lost eight teachers. We lost one Headmaster in Demsa, three teachers in Numan, three in Song and one in Madagali.
”We do not have the adequate number of those displaced but are over a hundred,” Nathan said as he urged the federal government to stop the killings and bring the perpetrators to book.
He commended Governor Mohammad Bindow for constituting a committee of enquiry on the clashes, and also appealed to the people of the state to be tolerant to engender peaceful coexistence.
