Agbu Kefas, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governor of Taraba state, has allegedly appointed a former local government chairman, whom the police had declared wanted.
According to Leadership, the former council chair, whose name was withheld, was among the 110 special advisers Governor Kefas had just appointed.
The police declared the former local government chairman wanted over an alleged connection with the murder of a former member of the Taraba state House of Assembly.
The PDP governor appointed the ex-council chair among the 110 special advisers on Wednesday, June 19.
According to the media, the late lawmaker was abducted in Takum and killed on December 30, 2017. The former council chair was said to have been on the run since the incident happened.
On April 25, 2024, David Iloyanmon, the commissioner of police in Taraba, said that the security agency had been on the trail of the former LG boss since the chief judge ordered his arrest.
Iloyanmon statement reads in part:
“We are looking for him. We recently gathered that he has left the state, and we have been trying to arrest him for possible prosecution; wherever he is, we must get him arrested; it’s just a matter of time.”
In a surprise move, Governor Kefas announced the council chairman whose arrest has been ordered by a chief judge in the state.
