A HELICOPTER suspected to be loaded with arms and ammunition is reported to have landed in a place called Jibu, a village located along River Benue, somewhere near Ibi, in Ibi LGA,  Taraba State.

A reliable source told Realnews that “the arms and ammunition are allegedly meant for a militia group that may be planning an attack on Taraba villages.

“This system of arms delivery was said to have happened prior to the tragic attacks in Agatu in Benue State last year which led to the killings there. Nothing was done to trace and arrest the owners of the helicopter.”

According to the source, ‘This may be another planned militia attacks in the offing.”

Realnews could not reach Jimoh Moshood,  Nigeria Police Force public relations officer to confirm if the force is aware of the current threat to peace and security in Taraba.
