Taraba House of Assembly speaker Escapes Assasination Attempt
The Speaker of Taraba State
House of Assembly, Hon.
Haruna Tsokwa, yesterday
escaped being killed by
unknown gunmen.
The incident occurred
in a border town called
Bade, which is located
between Kaduna and
Nasarawa States. The
gunmen arriving in
a commando style, according
to a source, fired several
shots at the convoy but were
unsuccessful.
One of his Speaker
Tsokwaa’s guards, a police
officer, was however shot.
He was rushed to the
hospital after the attackers
were overpowered. They
subsequently escaped.
Tsokwa has been in the
middle of the political
controversy, concerning the
return to Taraba of ailing
Governor Danbaba Danfulani
Suntai. He led the resistance
against the efforts of the
governor, who has brain
injuries, to resume his office
in his condition.
