Speaking through order 43, Bwacha said the suspected terrorists who are being transported from the notorious forest are disguising as herdsmen attacking people mostly in central part of the state.  He said the terrorists on several occasions have launched  attacks on residents of Bali and Gassol Local Government Area.
“I just want to bring to the notice of the entire nation that the displaced terrorist from Sambisa forest are finding safe haven in Taraba State. The nation must know that these people are being transported from the forest to mostly central Taraba” Bwacha said.
He noted that the recent concern by the National Human Right Commission (NHRC) and the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) that some Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) have been abandoned in the states is due to the presence of the suspected terrorists who frustrated the state government’s effort to address the problem.
In his remark, the Senate President Bukola Saraki noted the observation and called the attention of security agencies to the issue raised by the Senator. 
Suspected members of Boko Haram terrorist group displaced from the notorious Sambisa forest by the military are now in Taraba State. This was disclosed on Wednesday by Senator Emmanuel Bwacha representing Taraba South at the Senate.
