Terkula is the elder brother of Senator Gabriel Suswam, immediate past governor of Benue State.
Although no group has claimed responsibility for the murder of Suswam but there are speculations that he was murdered by late Terwase Agwaza’s gang.
However, the state government says it is ready to pay N5m to anyone who will provide information that will lead to the arrest of the killers.
This was made know during the Benue State Security Council on Thursday.
Resolutions arrived at after a security meeting presided over by the Governor as contained in a report by Terver Akase include:
“Council condemned the gruesome murder of one of Benue’s illustrious sons, Dr. Terkula Suswam. Consequently, Council declared a clampdown on criminal elements in Sankera and other flash points.”
“As follow-up to the last Security Council Meeting which banned the use of motorcycles in Katsina-Ala and Ukum Local Government Areas as well as the curfew imposed on the two local government areas, Council reviewed the situation and extended the curfew to cover Logo LGA where Dr Suswam was killed.”
The curfew in the entire Sankera area will now be in force from 6pm to 6am.
“Council also placed a bounty of N5 million for anyone with information that can lead to the arrest of killers of Dr Terkula Suswam. Council also acknowledged the appreciation of Sankera people regarding the ban on motorcycles.
It further acknowledged the people’s complaints that criminals now use the Toyota car popularly called ‘duck nyash’ to carry out their nefarious activities including the gunmen who killed Dr Terkura Suswam.”
“Consequently, Council resolved to ban the use of the ‘duck nyash’ Toyota vehicle in all parts of Sankera.”
“Council directed security operatives to arrest anyone using the banned car and motorcycle operating within Sankera axis.”
“Council decided that commercial vehicles operating in the entire Sankera must update their papers to authenticate their ownership. Similarly, all commercial vehicles must load in motor parks henceforth.
Council chairmen were also directed to liaise with the National Union of Road Transport Workers, security agencies and vigilante to enforce the directive.”
“To prevent any case of attack on schools in the state, Council took the proactive step of directing the Ministry of Education to sensitize schools on security consciousness. The sensitization is to begin with schools in border communities of the state.”
“Traditional rulers and the local government chairmen were also mandated to ensure adequate sensitization of people to be security conscious.”
“Council also constituted a Committee to monitor the sensitization of schools and the general public.
