Senator Emmanuel Bwacha from Taraba state on Wednesday, raised a fresh alarm on the floor of the senate that a strange helicopter had been dropping strange armed personnel and equipment in the Dakar area of the state, fueling fears among the residents.
Bwacha, who stated this under a point of order during the senate plenary, therefore, urged the federal government and the military authorities to move to the area immediately to flush out the insurgents before they establish another Sambisa camp in Taraba state.
He said, “I want to say that our attention has been drawn to a suspicious movements and activities around Dakar in Taraba State and it is believed also that a helicopter is dropping materials and personnel around the place.
“We fear that this may be another Sambisa that is in the making in Taraba State.I recall that sometimes in December, our colleague, Senator Alkali Jajare drew our attention to the fact that what is happening in Yobe and Borno State could spread to other states of the federation not only in the North East.
“What has happened in my constituency appears to be a confirmation of what our colleague had drawn our attention to.”
Bwacha said members of the Taraba state House of Assembly had already passed a resolution Now, “which appears to have been an expression of lack of confidence of the capacity of the state to contain the crisis.”
He said the state lawmakers had subsequently called on the Federal Government to take over the security of the state.
