Gunmen, suspected to be bandits, reportedly attacked Jumai Kefas, mother of Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas, and her daughter, Atsi Kefas, along Kente Road in Wukari Local Government Area of the state on Thursday.

The attack, described as “deeply troubling” by Wukari council chairman Dauda Samaila Agbu, left Atsi Kefas with a gunshot wound.

She was initially treated at the Federal Teaching Hospital in Wukari before being airlifted to Abuja for further medical attention.

“Her condition was stabilised before she was airlifted to Abuja,” Dauda said, assuring residents that efforts are underway to bring the perpetrators to justice.

He also called for calm amid growing concerns over security in the area.

The Taraba State Police Command, through its spokesperson Usman Abdullahi, confirmed the incident, though it was reported as an armed robbery. Abdullahi did not confirm whether the victims were related to the governor but stated that one of the vehicle’s occupants sustained gunshot injuries.

As of the time of this report, the state government has not issued an official statement regarding the incident.
