The appearance of a suspicious Helicopter has put the people of Taraba state in perpetual fear.
This development has caused the Taraba State government to raise the alarm over the incident.

Governor Darius Ishaku’s media aide, Bala Dan Abu told newsmen that the arms and ammunition were allegedly meant for a militia group that may be planning attacks on Taraba villages.

“That strategy works for them in Agatu and they are using it again today.
“This may be another planned militia attacks on the people of Taraba in the offing,” Dan-Abu said.
Meanwhile, the Police spokesman, David Misal, said a surveillance team had been directed to the area to get to the roots of the matter.
As the police is expected to get to the root of the matter and to unravel the mystery behind the suspicious helicopter loaded with ammunition.
