Suspected bandits ambushed a vehicle carrying Jummai Kefas, the mother of Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas, along Kente Road in Wukari Local Government Area on Thursday morning. The governor’s sister, Atsi Kefas, was injured in the attack, sustaining a gunshot wound.
Chairperson of Wukari LGA, Dauda Agbu, confirmed the incident, describing it as “deeply troubling.” He assured that no lives were lost, stating, “Miss Atsi Kefas sustained a gunshot wound. She was treated at the Federal Teaching Hospital in Wukari, where her condition was stabilized before being airlifted to Abuja for further medical attention.”
Agbu urged residents to remain calm, noting that security agencies are working to apprehend the attackers.
The Taraba State Police Public Relations Officer, Usman Abdullahi, also confirmed the incident, reporting an armed robbery along the Wukari-Kente road. However, he could not confirm if the victims were the governor’s family members. “We received a report of a robbery attack on Wukari-Kente road but cannot ascertain if the governor’s mother and sister were among the victims. Investigations are ongoing,” he said.
Security efforts are being intensified to bring the perpetrators to justice, as the incident highlights the persistent insecurity in the region.
