Takum and exposing the discussion of Governor Agbu Kefas on social media.
The audio voice notes believed to be the voice of the governor and former defence minister, Lt-Gen. Theophilus Danjuma went viral on social media and was made available to LEADERSHIP.

It criticised the governor for allegedly following Danjuma’s dictate by “destroying the age-long ancestral stool” of Ukwe Takum to appoint a new chief of Takum.

In the recorded voice note, Musa Dahiru revealed to his audience how Danjuma ordered the governor, who was then on vacation in South Africa, to return to Nigeria and install Barr. Sofiya Gboshi, who is of Chamba ethnic extraction, as the chief of Takum.

The audio also claimed that Kefas told some of his confidants that he had no choice but to cut short his vacation and return to Nigeria to carry out the directive.
It was gathered that the governor, who later listened to the audio conversation, was bitter that the voice note exposed everything he had discussed with his confidants in secret.

According to sources, the governor allegedly threatened to deal with some of his confidants, officials of the State House of Assembly, for revealing the discussion to the public.
The governor allegedly directed the police commissioner to arrest Musa Dahiru, the author of the recorded voice notes, to secure his confessional statement and ascertain who divulged Governor Kefas’s secret discussion to the public.

It was further gathered that the police arrested Dahiru, who has been detained at the Government Reserved Area (GRA) Police Station in Jalingo, the state capital, for the past three weeks.
Reacting to the allegations, the governor’s special adviser on media and digital communication, Mr Emmanuel Bello, denied Kefas’ involvement in Dahiru’s ordeal.
He said the governor is a very humane personality who abhors injustice and violation of human rights.

“My boss, whom I know very well, cannot descend too low to direct the police to arrest anyone. I think the police may be performing their duties but not on the governor’s directive,” he added.
Meanwhile, Mrs Hafsat Musa, the wife of the detainee, has appealed to both the governor and the police commissioner to free her husband.

Hafsat told LEADERSHIP that she and her six children were dying of hunger as there was nobody to provide for them since the arrest of her husband over three weeks ago.
“As you can see, two of my children lying there have been sick, and I have no ‘shi shi’ (no money) to take them to the hospital or even buy panadol for them, ” she said in tears.
