“Upon their arrest, the suspects attempted to bribe the troops with 2 million Naira for their release. However, the soldiers staunchly refused the bribe, underscoring their dedication to justice and integrity. The suspects were also  overheard stating that if money failed to secure their freedom, their associates would resort to armed means to rescue them from custody”.-The statement says.

Recently there have been growing concern of insecurity in Taraba State, which has led to loss of many lives and properties.
