By Ademola Adegbamigbe

A helicopter suspected to be loaded with arms and ammunition is reported to have landed in a place called Jibu, a village located along River Benue, somewhere near Ibi, in Ibi LGA, Taraba State.

This is revealed in an FB post by Bala Dan Abu, SA media to the Taraba State governor.

The arms and ammunition are, according to him, allegedly meant for a militia group that may be planning an attack on Taraba villages.

He added that this system of arms delivery was said to have happened prior to the tragic attacks in Agatu in Benue State last year which led to the killings there.

Unfortunately, nothing was done to trace and arrest the owners of the helicopter.
“This may be another planned militia attacks in the offing,” he said.
