Terrorists raided Bali town, the headquarters of Bali Local Government Area of Taraba State, on Sunday killing three people.
It was gathered that many other residents were kidnapped by the hoodlums after they entered the community and killed a Taraba Marshall officer.
According to the Tiv central leader and Chief of Tiv in Bali, Zaki David Gbaa (Ter Tiv Bali II), the criminals who came in on motor bikes started the raid around 11pm
“The attackers invaded the town at about 11pm. Two of my subjects were killed in the attack, and two others who were badly injured are receiving treatment in the hospital.
“Many people, especially women, were abducted. It’s a terrible situation and I want to call on the government and security agencies to sit up and ensure the protection of the lives and property of citizens.
“For over four hours, the bandits held the town shooting sporadically and there was no response from security agencies. People are losing hope of the government’s ability to protect them and I think the bandits are no more than our security agencies,” he said.
Efforts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer of the State, Abdullahi Usman for comments failed.
