Troops arrest Gana’s chief priest, gang members

The 4 Special Forces Command in Doma, in the Doma Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, said on Wednesday that it arrested 75 years-old Ugba Lorlumun suspected to be the chief priest to late Benue warlord, Terwase Akwaza, aka Gana Gana.

Gana was arrested in September 2020 and killed by the SF command in Doma

At a media briefing on Wednesday, the Commandant, 4 Special Forces Command, Maj. Gen. Moundhey Ali, said the chief priest was apprehended alongside one of his men called  ‘commander’ when his shrine was raided.

He said, “In Benue, we arrested the chief priest of the late criminal Terwase, alias Gana, and one of his men called commander and razed the shrine. While another criminal, Paul Duguma died in Katsina Ala.”

In an exclusive interview with our correspondent shortly after he was paraded, the chief priest said, “I prepared charms for four of Gana’s gang members. They came for the second time for me to prepare another disappearing charm for them and I asked what they needed the charms for. They threatened to beat me up and I ran towards the bridge where I was arrested by the soldiers.”

Ali also said 41 additional gang members of the late Gana were arrested.
