According to the statement, Igohia revealed that she was presently married to Voryor Gata, a notorious criminal.

β€œShe is currently married to the leader of a violent extremist group in southern Taraba. According to her, she had previously been married to high profile criminals such as late Terkibi Gemaga AKA Mopol, a notorious kidnapper, who was killed by troops 5 years ago.

β€œShe revealed that she also got married to late Gana Terwase another notorious criminal who was killed during Joint Special Force Operation 3 years ago.”

Additionally, Olubodunde said troops deployed at Mararaba Baissa community of Donga Local Government Area apprehended two other suspected gunrunners
