In a disturbing turn of events, the Taraba State Police Command has confirmed the abduction of Inspector Emmanuel Yaro. Inspector Yaro, who was serving with the Kurmi division of the state police command, was taken captive by unknown assailants suspected to be bandits while he was on his farm.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Abdullahi Usman, the incident unfolded when Inspector Yaro had accompanied some workers to his farm located in Gidan-Idi village. He left briefly to purchase food for the workers in a nearby village, and it was during this time that the kidnappers struck.
Upon his return, Inspector Yaro found himself face-to-face with the kidnappers who had taken his workers hostage. The culprits then released the workers and apprehended Inspector Yaro, leaving us all deeply concerned for his well-being.
This unsettling incident adds to the growing concerns over security challenges in Taraba State. The state Governor, Agbu Kefas, has been vocal about the need to address these issues and ensure the safety of residents.
Taraba State, like many others in Nigeria, has been grappling with security challenges in recent times, with frequent reports of banditry and kidnappings. Authorities and security agencies are working tirelessly to restore peace and security to the region.
As we await further developments on Inspector Emmanuel Yaro’s kidnapping, let us keep him and his family in our thoughts and hope for a swift and safe resolution to this distressing situation.
