PREMIUM TIMES reported that suspected bandits on Thursday morning attacked a vehicle in which Jummai Kefas, the mother of Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas, was travelling along Kente Road in Wukari Local Government Area of the state. Atsi was in the vehicle with her mother.

She was immediately taken to the Federal University Teaching Hospital, Wukari, before being flown to Abuja for further treatment.
