The statement said the legislation was duly made by the state house of assembly and provides opportunity in the law to train marshals that will assist in the enforcement of the law across the State.

“The current training in Serti Gashaka local governments area of Taraba State is the second of such exercise in the state and we would like to say with emphasis that this training does not involve the use of any form of weapons.

“Before the training started, all the formations of security agencies in the state including the one Lt Col. Sani Adamu were informed in writing, all the letters were duly signed and acknowledgement copies of these letters returned by these agencies are in our possession.

“The government is, therefore, surprise that one of the recipients of these letters could turn round to deny knowledge of the training which is being conducted in the open public school.

The governor caution against any attempt by any security agency to politicise the genuine and patriotic efforts of the government to solve some of the problems affecting the unity and peaceful coexistence among the people.
