In a series of successful raids, Nigerian Army troops have apprehended several notorious criminals, including Janet Igohia, the wife of the late Benue State-born high-profile gun runner, Gana Terwase. The arrests, conducted in separate operations, mark a significant breakthrough in the ongoing efforts to combat criminal activities in the region.
Janet Igohia, aged 31, was captured on January 25, 2024, during an operation in Taraba State, where she was allegedly in the process of collecting a ransom of N1.5 million for a kidnapped victim. During interrogation, Igohia revealed her association with Gana Terwase, stating that she was his wife before his demise in a shootout with Nigerian soldiers in Benue State.
Furthermore, Igohia disclosed that she had remarried another notorious terrorist, Voryor Gata, who held the position of second in command to her late husband. The revelation underscores the interconnectedness of criminal networks operating in the region and highlights the complexity of the security challenges faced by authorities.
The arrest of Janet Igohia and others represents a significant victory in the fight against organized crime and terrorism in Nigeria. It serves as a testament to the dedication and effectiveness of the Nigerian Army in safeguarding the nation's security and ensuring the safety of its citizens. Authorities continue to intensify efforts to dismantle criminal networks and bring perpetrators to justice, as they strive to create a safer and more secure environment for all Nigerians.
