Counsel to the revenue board, Mike Utsaha, while addressing newsmen in Makurdi said that a barrier staff of the board identified as Abubu Aondoakaa, was taken away from his duty post and almost tortured to death by some soldiers. “And in the process, whisked away Abubu Aondoakaa, a Barrier Assistant with BIRS, in a manner reminiscent of the abduction of Late Sixtus Terfa Akure.
