TARABA STATE....IS THE WIND OF VIOLENCE BLOWING IN THAT DIRECTION?

Last week we woke up to the news of bomb blast in Jalingo, Taraba State...  Reports of attacks which took place over night in Dananaca village, Taraba state, a usually peaceful  Village which suffered a bombing at the hands of Islamist militants last week.
“The police are still investigating to ascertain if the people are real soldiers and from which unit,” police spokesman for Taraba state Ibiam Mbaseki told Reuters by telephone.
“If they were genuine military men, they would have contacted us before carrying out such an operation, but we don’t know where they came from.”
  Reports say Gunmen in military uniform abducted five people in Taraba state, tied their hands and shot them dead, police said on Saturday.
 It is still not clear if the killers were Islamists or a criminal gang....

Taraba State..is the last place you would expect such news..it is really sad!
