TVC News Correspondent, Godwin Agwam, reports that the Bassa/ Ebira crises in Toto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State has been raging for so long.
These two warring tribes that are predominant in Kogi State have their descendants in Nasarawa State who are always at the receiving end of crises in their ancestral homes.
The recent crises in Nasarawa State led to the deaths of many and the displacement of more than 12,000 persons and Governor Al-makura feels it is as a result of the negligence by the elites.
Stakeholders in the community see peace as the only guarantee for development.
It is hoped that the visit of Governor Tanko Al-makura to Bassa/Ebira communities in Nasarawa State would restore peace to the two warring communities where intermarriage is rare.
