In a statement signed by the special adviser to the governor on social media, Osbon Adi, the governor described the lecturer’s act as criminal and uncivilised.
“Taraba State government has received with rude shock report of the attack on one of its indigenes, Tiyangrimam Blessing Mathias, an 18-year old orphan from Takum local government area and student of Federal University, Lafia, Nasarawa State, by a lecturer in the same University, Dr. Ayakhai E. F. along with his family members.

“The lecturer and three other family members were said to have kidnapped, beaten and stripped their victim following a misunderstanding between her and one of his daughters over social relationship.
“The Taraba State government, particularly Governor Darius Ishaku, condemned in its entirety the criminal and uncivilized action of Dr. Ayakhai E. F. and his band of lawless relations. It goes without saying that whatever the offence of Blessing T. Mathias is, there are lawful and constitutional means to seek redress,” the governor said.
