Police Escort Killed My Sister, Not Bandits – Taraba State Governor Says
Governor Kefas Agbu of Taraba State has opened up on the circumstances surrounding the killing of his sister, Atsi Kefas, reportedly shot by kidnappers along the Wukari-Chinkai road last year.
Kefas revealed that a police escort attached to his mother’s escorts shot and killed his sister while travelling from Jalingo to Abuja, along the Wukari-Chinkai Road in 2024.
He stated this while interacting with journalists in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, saying the investigation revealed that a police escort shot Atsi at a close range.
He further disclosed that pellets of the gun were found in the victim’s body during the operation before she subsequently succumbed to death.
Many in Taraba State believe that the vehicle conveying Atsi and the governor’s mother was attacked by bandits who wanted to kidnap the governor’s family members.
Kefas, while observing a minute silence for Atsi, and the over 50 people who were recently killed in Karim-Lamido Local Government Area of the state during an attack, called on the people to embrace peace and love one another.
“Life is very precious to me. You can’t just end someone’s life and think God will be happy with you. My younger sister was shot and killed by a police escort who was inside the same bus with her.
“Investigation revealed that my sister Atsi was shot at a close range. The policeman is still under investigation so that justice should prevail,” the governor said.
He stated that a commission of enquiry would soon be set up to look into the causes of the Karim-Lamido crisis to bring lasting peace to the affected area.
He regretted that the people who should be living peacefully together to develop their areas had embraced crisis, leading to the killing of several lives without any justification.
The state police command has yet to make official comments on the governor’s claim as of the time of filing this report.
