The Joint Task Force, Tuesday, said it had uncovered plot by renegade militant, John Togo, to attack its troops and oil facilities in Bayelsa State.

Sector 2 commander of the Joint Task Force, Col Victor Ezugwu, who dropped the hint in Yenagoa, said information at their disposal indicated that plans are on to attack some coastal communities bordering Bayelsa and Delta States by John Togo gang.

“The JTF Sector 2 headquarters has uncovered plan by wanted criminal John Togo to attack JTF troops and oil and gas facilities belonging to multinational oil companies.

“Additional information available to JTF Sector headquarters indicates that there are plans to attack some Bayelsa coastal communities and those bordering Bayelsa and Delta states by John Togo gang.”

While calling on communities in the state not to harbour the wanted John Togo and his gang in their domain, he said, “the JTF Sector 2 Bayelsa State wish to state categorically that John Togo and his gang will be dealt with ruthlessly if and whenever they are seen in Bayelsa State.

“Any community that habours, associate or render any form of assistant to John Togo and his gang does so at their own peril. We, therefore, appeal to all communities in Bayelsa State to report suspicious move in and around their communities to headquarters JTF Sector,” he added.
