Just In: Unknown Gunmen Abduct, Kill Taraba LG Chair, Mr. Dovo
Unknown gunmen in the early hours of Sunday stormed the residence of the Chairman of Ardo-Kola Local Government Area of Taraba State, Salihu Dovo and killed him.
It was gathered that the dare devil gunmen first stormed Mr Dovo’s residence in Sabon Gari, Jalingo at about 1:00 am on Sunday morning and abducted him but later murdered him.
A local resident told Forefront that the deadly gunmen later called an official of the Local Government Council to announce they had killed the chairman and also disclosed where to recover his corpse.
Some members of the community however hold the strong view that the abductors and killers of Mr. Dovo are hired assassins.
One of the community members who spoke on condition of anonymity said; “They called an official of the Council to inform him of the killing, telling them to go and search for his corpse in the bush”.
“Members of the community went into the bush and started looking for his body and it was found not long ago. The body is being conveyed to the town now”.
