While the Kano crisis remains fresh in our minds, terror has again struck. Gunmen yesterday attacked Tapga village of Ibi Local Government Area of Taraba State leaving five people dead and several others seriously injured.
According to eye witnesses, the gang, stormed Tapga village in the afternoon and started attacking the residents, who were forced to flee their homes and take refuge in Ibo and Wukari.
The Chairman, of Ibi Local Government Area, Alhaji Adamu Ishaku confirmed the attack ; that three people were killed in the attack, though eyewitnesses said about five people were killed in the incident, which left the entire community deserted.
The chairman, who could not ascertain the reason behind the attack, expressed sadness that due to the bad terrains leading to Tapga village, security operatives were not able to be drafted to the area to protect the lives and properties of the people.
The security personnel, he said, complained that they could not reach the area except through the use of helicopter because the road is completely not motorable, especially in the raining season.
Mr. Jubril Adeniji, Taraba state Police Commissioner couldn’t be reached for comments on the incident.
