In the letter, Barrister Josephat Abaagu, Director, Legal Services, stated that the leader of a criminal group called Civilian Joint Task Force are planning to assassinate Mr. Tarnongu, a former Chairman of Konshisha local government council.
“I am looking for a way to kidnap Tarnongu. Moreover, he is hypertensive so even if you kidnap him and take to Makurdi alone, he would have died,” the letter quoted the gang leader.

“I don’t know why he (Tarnongu) is still living in this world. Our group known as Civilian Joint Task Force would always go after its target. For instance, the recently kidnapped multimillionaire was whisked away in the presence of the police and V.I.O.”
According to the letter, “in the enclosed recorded audio compact diskette (cd) recorded in Tiv language and the translated English version also enclosed,” the gang leader, names withheld, “has clearly demonstrated his gang’s mastery of kidnappings and armed robbery.”
It stated that the leader “shockingly revealed the complicity of Governor Gabriel Suswam in a particular previous kidnap wherein his intervention resulted in the release of the unnamed multimillionaire kidnap victim after payment of N9m as ransom.”
Barrister Abaagu begged the Commissioner of Police to take the matter serious and take steps to arrest and interrogate the gang and ensure security in the step.
Chief Dr. Samuel Ioraer Ortom is the Former Minister of State, Industry, Trade & Investment and the 2015 Benue guber aspirant under the flag of the All Progressives Congress.
