Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba has dismissed claims that the state government was planning to demolish Takum palace and Central Mosque to pave way for the construction of T.Y Danjuma University.

Recall that the Kuteb Yatso of Nigeria, KYN, an ethnic group in the state, had raised an alarm over an alleged plot by the state government to demolish the long-standing buildings.

Speaking while addressing a press conference, KYN national president, Emmanuel Ukwen, warned that these actions, if allowed to proceed, could heighten religious tensions in the state.
