A traditional ruler in Adamawa State, Dr Kuruhaye Dishon Dansanda II, has commended the state government and security agencies for their swift and decisive intervention in calming the recent security crisis in Lamurde Local Government Area.
He called on residents to fully support government-led peace efforts, noting that “unity and cooperation remain the strongest tools for sustaining peaceful coexistence in the region.”
Dr Dansanda, addressed as, His Royal Majesty, Kwandi Nunguraya, emphasised that peace is the foundation upon which every thriving society is built, stressing that “no community can attract investment or development in the midst of conflict.”
He explained that tranquility creates an enabling environment for businesses to grow, agricultural activities to flourish, and public infrastructure to be effectively utilised ultimately improving livelihoods and boosting local economies.
“Communities that nurture peace often enjoy increased investor confidence, improved access to government services, and stronger social bonds,” he stated.
According to him, stability not only protects lives and property but also unlocks economic potential, allowing families, traders, and farmers to pursue opportunities without fear or disruption.
The Kwandi urged residents to fully support ongoing peace initiatives, stressing that “sustainable coexistence can only be achieved when communities cooperate with authorities and shun reprisals.”

The Kwandi Nunguraya further directed that two representatives from every village in the Nungura Kingdom attend a security consultation meeting aimed at strengthening communal safety and advancing lasting peace.
