…Hunters trail kidnappers

Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have killed a Jalingo-based Imam known as Mallam Gambo and one other person between Sibre and Jauro Yinu near Jalingo.

The gunmen it was gathered also abducted occupants of a vehicle and took them into the bush.

However, our correspondent gathered that hunters went after the suspected kidnappers on Tuesday.

One of the hunters who participated in the operation told our correspondent that many of the kidnappers were wounded in the attack and some of their bases in the bush destroyed.

An eyewitness, who escaped the attack on Sunday night told journalists in Jalingo on Wednesday that the gunmen had blocked the road and were firing at vehicles coming from both directions.

The eyewitness who pleaded anonymity told our correspondent that he was stopped by some villagers close to the scene and informed that some gunmen had blocked the road.

“Some of us were lucky because the villagers alerted us that gunmen blocked the road.

“Later we were informed that the gunmen took some people inside the bush but they were rescued by a team of police that came to the scene.

“For those killed, it was learnt that they attempted to fight the kidnappers and were gunned down,” he said.

Taraba State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP David Misal confirmed that two persons were killed and seven persons rescued by the police.

Our correspondent reports that the kidnapped Transport Officer of Taraba Government House, Mr. Danlami Yunana is still being held by the kidnappers who have allegedly taken over the surrounding bushes around the Jalingo Airport.

Social media is not for everyone

Especially terrorists

The entire Jalingo is as small as Ahmadu Bello way in Jos, and Darius cannot secure this small stretch of road of a state. Useless governors everywhere, north, south, APC and PDP.

He should secure it with what? Does he have a single policeman under his control? Give him state police and see if he doesn't

Left to me I'll suggest the police arrest Burna boy and be invited to proof his innocence in this imam's death

Nigga have been seen many times swearing and threatening Guys esp AKA on Gambo's grave recently while the man wasn't dead

Stooory

knowing how irrational some Nigerians think whenever it concerns allah/jesus/imam/pastor/bishop/sheik/church/mosque/ I just hope that some people will not kill or kidnap a pastor in retaliation believing that the imam was kidnap by a Christian or even by CAN.

Na Evan

Nigeria is getting worse day by day.

Fulani men again

The north again.

Bring on the Federal Republic of Southern Nigeria, so we can have peace...
