Taraba Police boss lied on attack – NYSC members

Victims of last Thursday’s early morning attack at the Redeemed Christian Corpers Fellowship, RCCF, in Jalingo, Taraba State, have denied police statement that the attackers does not carry arms.

State Police Commissioner, Mr. Ibrahim Mohammed Maishanu, was reported as saying that the attackers were local thieves and hoodlums armed with cutlasses and sticks and not guns.

The NYSC members, however, condemned the silence of the state government over the attack at a time they needed encouragement from all quarters.

They said the attackers carried deadly arms and carted away N122,600, and N652,590 worth of valuables, including three laptops.
