The Benue State Government said that 17 suspected criminals who kidnapped Taraba youths have been arrested.
 
It will be recalled that 23 Takum youths were abducted along Wukari – Takum road in Taraba state last Wednesday. 19 were rescued by a combined team of soldiers and police from Benue and Taraba. HERE
 
Col. Paul Hemba, the Special Adviser to Governor Ortom on Security, who confirmed the latest development to journalists on Monday, February 1, said that those who abducted the youths were loyalists of the late terrorist, Terwase Akwaza aka Gana.
 
Hemba said that the aim of the criminal elements was to trigger inter-communal crisis between the Tiv and Jukun tribes. 
 
The security adviser said that all the kidnap victims are all Jukuns from Taraba, adding that the youths were kept at Ajon, Igbudu and Tor Donga axis all in Katsina-Ala local government area of the state.
 
"The aim of the kidnapers was to trigger inter-communal crisis between the Tiv and Jukun tribes in that axis so that they can have a respite from the pressure on them from the security forces.” he said.
 
Hemba also confirmed that the combined team of troops of Operation Whirl Stroke, 72 Special Forces Battalion, 83 Battalion and Mobile Policemen from Takum rescued 19 out of the 23 abducted victims, adding that efforts were on for the remaining four.
