In a statement signed and made available to journalists, on Tuesday in Jalingo, Hon mark condemned in strong terms the barbaric killing of 6 commuters along Takum- Wukari road.
According to the statement, “This unfortunate incidence is coming a few weeks after the Chief of Chanchanji was murdered together with his son on the same road. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the families of the 6 victims of the dastardly act.
“These criminal elements have also evolved a wicked strategy of following local farmers to their farm to kidnap for ransom, a situation which will aggravate the hunger being experienced in the land.
“I want to call on communities along the Taraba/ Benue border on both sides to step up local intelligence and vigilance to make work easy for security agencies in protecting the areas. “
