JALINGO—Deputy Speaker of Taraba State House
of Assembly, Mr Adamu Tanko Maikarfi weekend
escaped being killed by unknown assassins barely
one week after the death of the speaker, Mr Haruna
Tsokwa.
The assassins were said to have trailed him to a
certain location in Jalingo.
Confirming the assassination attempt, the Deputy
Speaker said: “It is true that they came wanting to
kill me in my brother’s home.
They got tips that I was there; when they came they
did not meet me, after they searched all the rooms
holding everyone at gunpoint. God saved me and I
thank God, they did not also kill anyone in the
house. Only the wife was traumatized as they took
her around the house searching for me.”
He added that the security agencies in the state
were aware of the development, and that he will
continue to stand by the truth and will not bow to
any pressure to comprise his office.
