Taraba Poly Matriculation Turns Bloody As Students Harm Themself In Ethnic Fight by Akporo1234: 6:54pm On Aug 07, 2021
There was a serious confusion at the Taraba State Polytechnic matriculation ceremony after students engaged in a freestyle skirmish, injuring each other during an ethnic clash.

According to [url][/url], the 28-year-old academy organized registration a week ago at the academy’s campus located in Jalingo.

However, the ceremony turns to blood amid clashes between the school’s Jukun and Kuteb students during a cultural showcase of the admitte

Basically, Jukun (Njikum) is traditionally located in the states of Taraba, Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau, Adamawa and Gombe in Nigeria and in the northwestern regions of Cameroon.

On the other hand, the Kuteb (or Kutep) people are an ethnic group from West Africa who speak Kuteb, a Jukunoid language.

The majority of Kutebs live in Taraba State, Nigeria. As many students and dignitaries arrived and the ceremony began, the predominantly student groups designated shelters where they and those around them stayed.

At the event, State High School Commissioner Edwards Baraya, Nigeria’s former Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago John Musa, and Polytechnic Dean Ayuba Ibrahim. Instead of a cultural spectacle, the event turned bloody.

“Sadly, it ended with a free for all,” said a student Mustapha Salisu.

“The Jukun cultural group who had a long procession from the uncompleted overhead bridge from the Jalingo town into the school were also set and prepared to be ushered into the dancing arena by the master of the ceremony as well as the Kuteb cultural group before the chaos started.”

A student of the institution Amina Abdullahi (not real name) said the Jukun student who was holding a big stick as part of their culture display used it to attack the Kuteb student.

She said, “We were prepared and waiting for the MC to call us for our display to entertain the guests, however, two students, one who was from the Kuteb and another from Jukum side engaged in a serious argument. In the blink of an eye, the Jukum student who was holding a big stick as a sign of culture descended on the Kuteb student.

“The Kuteb student scampered for safety and ran into the arena where the dignitaries were seated yet he was not saved. However, in the presence of both security and the dignitaries, the Jukum student hit the Kuteb student with the stick, and blood started gushing out from his head.

“He hit him continuously, and the Kuteb student fell, the school security quickly rushed and arrested the Jukun student at the spot.

“The chairman of the matriculation Mr Bambuu stood up and declared the matriculation ceremony close.”

Kuteb and jukun be disgracing themselves, useless people. Uptill now they don't have a king in Takum because of this stupidity. Hausa will soon take over their land if they are not careful.
