The Takum Youths Forum(TYF) and the Chamba Muslim Community of Takum(CMC) says the false allegations by the Kuteb Yatso of Nigeria on the demolition of Takum central mosque for TY Danjuma University is a cheap propaganda to whip sentiment.
In a statement issued by Emmanuel Tikari and Bissala Mohammed Koto the groups secretary, says their attention has been drawn to a recent press conference by a Kuteb sociocultural group known as Kuteb Yatso of Nigeria(KYN).
Stating that Ordinarily they would not have reacted but for the benefits of records, they have decided to correct the fallacies concocted in the press release.
According to the release which reads “Notably, KYN’s press conference was centered on what it termed “an opposition to the planned demolition of Takum Central Mosque and Ukwe Takum’s palace in Takum local government area of Taraba state”.
“Secondly the press conference raised security concerns that residents were seen running from different directions when the rumour of the planned demolition of the mosque and the Ukwe palace filtered into the town”.
“Of a truth, it’s ridiculous that KYN has resort to making issues out of nothing even as it is known that the Kuteb group is a trademark of lies and propaganda against the people of Takum local government area of Taraba state. Why did KYN resort to using the Takum Central Mosque for her cheap propaganda”.
The group also alleges that It is unfortunate that KYN and its leadership have forgotten the attack it sponsored against the Muslim community in Takum on the 21st day of May 2023 where Kuteb mercenaries invaded and killed innocent Muslims.
The group further highlights that it’s mischievous for aligning the TY Danjuma University to the purported demolition of the palace by the authority saddle with responsibility of chieftaincy issues in the state. Stating that the site of the TY Danjuma University is no where close to the palace.
The group further conclude that no Kuteb kings was buried in the palace and the edifice belongs to the government.
