Chairman Caretaker
Committee of Zing Local
Government area of Taraba
State Alhaji Haruna Konko has
resigned from his position.
Addressing a press conference in Jalingo on
Tuesday night, Konko said he resigned over
constant intimidation by some people in the area
who he said are threatening the peace without
intervention from the state government or
security agents.
He said he was forced to flee from his house and
relocate his family out of Zing following the
constant harassment.
"The youths are taking the laws into their hands,
threatening everybody while the Police cannot
arrest those suspected to be behind the social
vices," he said.
He said that he had written several security
reports but to no avail as his life has continued to
be under constant threat.
Konko cited example with the case of the
election to fill the vacant seat of the late Kpanti
during which, according to him, the police had to
whisk him out of the venue to save him from
irate youths.
He said he had resigned in the interest of
his family and the good people of Zing
Local Government area.
