In a separate incident, Janet Igohia was apprehended by the troops after collecting a ransom of N1.5 million in the Chanchangi area of Takum Local Government Area. She confessed to being the wife of Voryor Gata, a notorious criminal and former second-in-command to the late Gana Terwase. She revealed her current marriage to the leader of a violent extremist group in southern Taraba and her previous marriages to high-profile criminals, including late Terkibi Gemaga and late Gana Terwase.
