Troops of 6 Brigade, Nigerian Army/Sector 3 Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS) have arrested three suspects in Karim Town, Karim Lamido Local Government Area of Taraba State.
They are allegedly involved in the burning of a house belonging to a Wurkun resident in the early hours of Tuesday, 2 December 2025.
The suspects, Bitrus Ishaya and Mamman Ibrahim from the Wudumpi area, and Emmanuel Adi from Step 2, were intercepted by troops at the scene of the incident shortly after the house had been set ablaze.
A statement by Lieutenant Umar Muhammad, the 6 Brigade Nigeria Army Public Relations Officer, says preliminary investigations revealed that the claims by Bitrus and Mamman to be members of the Taraba Marshal were false.
Both both men failed to provide any form of official identification.
Similarly, Emmanuel Adi, who claimed to be a vigilante operative, made inconsistent and suspicious statements during initial questioning
