The former defense minister, General Theophilus Danjuma has asked Nigerians to defend themselves over incessant killings in the country.
The former defense minister while speaking at the maiden convocation of the Taraba State University, Jalingo said that the state has lived in peace with everyone but the peace is been assaulted.
Danjuma also stated that such barbaric ways of these killers should be resisted urging Nigerians to rise up and defend themselves and also stop these killers.
"Taraba is a mini Nigeria with diverse ethnic groups living together peacefully but the peace in this state is under assault.
"There is an attempt at ethnic cleansing in the state and of course some rural states in Nigeria. We must resist it, we must stop it, everyone of us must rise up."
He said.
