Sani Adamu, who made this known on Thursday in Serti, told NAN that the Special Adviser on Security to Taraba Governor, Col. Agyo Wapan (retd), had been invited as part of investigation on the issue.
He said that the discovery followed calls by concerned citizens, who disclosed that no fewer than 300 youths were being trained in a public primary school in the area.

The commander said that the training was being conducted by GS Security Services, a security outfit in the state.
He confirmed that he had filed a report to his superior on the development and for further directive.
The security outfit is allegedly hired by the Taraba Government to train selected youths as ‘Marshals.’
Sani explained that his men had profiled the young men and dismantled the camp, while awaiting directive from Army Headquarters.
Alarm on the illegal training camp was sequel to unusual influx of hundreds of young men from some local government areas into Serti, headquarters of Gashaka Local Government Area.
A resident of the area, Abubakar Mohammed, told NAN that they raised the alarm because of the frequent clashes of youths who were commonly used by desperate politicians to hunt their enemies.
