ROBBERY: NAN Correspondent Attacked In Taraba

A gang of armed robbers on Saturday evening attacked a senior correspondent of NAN in Taraba State, Alhaji Adamu Sadiq at his residence and made away with his Honda Accord car (Hennessey) and other valuables worth over N8 million.
LEADERSHIP gathered that the armed bandits, who were five in number, stormed the journalist’s apartment along GRA area Jalingo when people had not gone to bed.
Speaking on the ugly incident, Sadiq said the robbers came at about 9:30pm, and on getting to the compound, they ordered wife and the children to lie down flat.
“As the time they entered my house, I was not in; I was standing very close to my house receiving calls. When I finished the calls, I came back to the parlour and when they saw me, they asked me to give them the money I brought home yesterday, and that the person that sent them told them I came home with money and that they were instructed to kill me if I refused to give them the money,” he said.
The robbers later tied him up and took his Honda Accord Car, home theater, plasma TV and valuable items.
According to him, his family told him how the robbers burst into the living room with guns and announced: “We are here to collect money, not to kill anybody, and where are two Apple iPads in this house?”

Taraba Begins ₦5,000 Deduction for Teachers’ Permanent Identity Cards

The Taraba State Universal Basic Education Board (TSUBEB) has initiated a ₦5,000 deduction from teachers as part of arrangements for the production of Permanent Identity Cards for teachers across the state. According to UBEC, the identity cards are expected to strengthen staff records, improve security and enhance administrative efficiency in the management of teachers across Taraba State. UBEC further said the Permanent Identity Card project is also expected to assist the state government in developing an accurate and verifiable database of teachers. Such a database will provide Governor Agbu Kefas with reliable information on personnel within the basic education system and support more effective planning, monitoring and personnel management. The initiative is therefore expected to strengthen security measures, improve staff verification and provide a more efficient system for managing personnel across Taraba State’s basic education sector.
