In a petition jointly written and signed by the leader to the state Commissioner of Police, Abimbola Shokoya, the people alleged that the suspect and his gang have continued to carry out coordinated and serial attacks on the communities.
Chinkai, Arufu, Akwana, Kente, Sondi and Assa Chiefdoms are some of the few communities the petitioners claimed to have been overrun by Gana and his gangs. They also claimed that the council’s chairman “together with security agencies and traditional leaders in Wukari Traditional Council had tried to restore peace in the area but things are becoming increasingly difficult owing to the massive attacks by the suspected bandits leader.”
“Since Gana moved into Chinkai, the area is always in crisis. His son, Duni, is a notorious kidnapper operating in Wukari and some neighbouring Local government councils of Benue and Nasarawa States.”
