Troops Arrest Another Notorious Kidnap Suspect in Taraba

Troops of 6 Brigade Nigerian Army, Sector 3 Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS), have arrested another suspected notorious kidnapper, Alhaji Abubakar Bawa, in Taraba State after a coordinated operation on November 23, 2025. Bawa is believed to be closely linked to Umar Musa, a kidnapping mastermind arrested by troops a day earlier in Wukari. Preliminary investigations have exposed the link between the suspects and a wider criminal syndicate believed responsible for multiple kidnappings and violent attacks across Southern Taraba. Brigadier General Kingsley Uwa, 6th Brigade Commander, praised the troops for their professionalism and operational accuracy. Uwa affirmed that the latest arrests signify the effectiveness of Operation Zafin Wuta in dismantling criminal networks and restoring security to communities in Southern Taraba. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and provide credible intelligence to support the ongoing security efforts.

Taraba Governor Orders Immediate Payment to Cleared Civil Servants

Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State has ordered the immediate payment of salaries and outstanding entitlements to civil servants cleared by the State Staff Verification Committee. The formal submission of the committee’s report marks a major milestone after five months of a sweeping workforce audit that led to the removal of over 7,000 names due to irregular records. The governor commended the committee for its transparency and called for follow-up reviews for workers whose recruitment suffered from administrative lapses. He emphasized the importance of accountability in the civil service and noted that decisions should stand the test of time. Committee chairman Alhaji Abdulkadir Haruna said just 1,410 workers were fully cleared and will be reinstated with immediate payment of their entitlements. The findings revealed cases of payroll fraud and called for tighter controls, digital payroll automation, and adherence to proper […]

 Catholic leaders decry herdsmen violence in Taraba

Catholic priests and community groups in Southern Taraba State have raised the alarm over renewed violence and killings allegedly perpetrated by armed herdsmen across multiple communities under the Catholic Diocese of Wukari. Rev. Fr. John Laikel, Director of Social Communications for the diocese, described the situation as “devastating,” noting many rural parishes have been abandoned after sustained assaults that have claimed lives and destroyed villages. “It is disheartening that attacks on innocent citizens keep happening despite government promises to stop the killings,” he said, highlighting a pattern he believes is aimed at seizing communities for grazing. Victims are often returnees who had only recent resettled. Laikel alleged that herdsmen not only kill and burn down homes but also graze cattle on victims’ farmlands and occupy deserted settlements. He called on federal, state, and local authorities to protect lives and property, […]
