The Nigerian Army has reportedly requested for
the payment of the N50 million bounty placed on wanted suspect in
Benue State, Terwase Akwaza also known as Gana by
the state Governor, Samuel Ortom.
This is coming barely three days after Gana was killed by the
military during an operation by Special Forces Command in Doma,
Nasarawa State.
A top source in the military, who spoke in with The Nation, said
the Army is waiting to see whether or not the governor will fulfill
his promise.
The source added that fulfillment of the pledge will determine
the extent of the backing from political authority for the
military.
The source said: “Our Special Forces have eliminated a
notorious criminal/terrorist gang leader, Terwase Agwaza, who has
been terrorizing Benue State and environs for too long. He had been
on the wanted list of security agencies.”
“The Nigerian Army Special Forces Command in Doma Nasarawa
State conducted a special operation that helped in destroying
notorious camps of criminals and terrorists terrorizing Nigerians
along Nasarawa and Kogi States recently.”
The fugitive criminal Gana has been on the wanted listed of
security agencies for long. The Benue State governor in the year
declared him wanted and placed a N10 million bounty on anyone who
can lead to the arrest of Gana.”

“Despite the ransom (bounty), Gana still remained elusive,
forcing the state government to raise it to N50 million bounty for
his arrest. Yet, he was elusive, not until he was gunned down by
the Special Forces on 8 September, 2020.”
“In the midst of this situation, the Nigerian Army deserves
to be paid the N50 million ransom, having killed Gana. The
assignment has been completed, the Army should be paid.”
It is not the cash that is important, but the need for
political authority to set good precedent by giving backing to the
military.”
“It is a symbolic reward which the Nigerian Army is ready to
take from the governor. It is time to walk the talk. We are already
pushing for the bounty.”
