The elections, held during the association’s Annual General Congress at its Jos secretariat, mark the beginning of a three-year term for Tegha and his team of vibrant executives.

Tegha, who previously served as Deputy Chairman, takes over from the outgoing Chairman, Friday Bako, a pioneer leader celebrated for steering the association through its formative years.

In his acceptance speech, Tegha exuded confidence and gratitude, pledging to lead with dedication, transparency, and integrity. He painted a bold vision for PLABOMA as a force for good in society, emphasizing the transformative power of blogging and online media.

“Blogging and online media are not just platforms; they are tools for shaping society, bridging communication gaps, and driving positive change. As practitioners, we bear the responsibility to inform, inspire, and empower our communities,” Tegha stated passionately.

He urged members to embrace professionalism, collaboration, and innovation, encouraging active participation to create a lasting legacy for the association.

Friday Bako, in his farewell address, congratulated the new team and expressed confidence in their ability to propel PLABOMA to greater heights. Reflecting on his tenure, Bako highlighted the challenges overcome and milestones achieved during his leadership, pledging his continued support for the association’s progress.

The event also featured goodwill messages from notable figures in Plateau’s media landscape. Polycarp Auta, Chairman of the NUJ Correspondents’ Chapel, commended the outgoing executives for their service and urged the new team to uphold ethical standards and prioritize truth in reporting.

Similarly, Bolaji Pedro General Manager of JayFM Jos called for greater focus on members’ welfare and professional development, emphasizing the importance of the partnership between traditional and digital media in fostering progress.

Under Tegha’s leadership, PLABOMA aims to elevate its role as a credible voice for peace, professionalism, and societal development.

Troops Rescue Six Abducted Travellers in Plateau, Search Ongoing for Missing Driver

Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) rescued six travellers abducted by suspected kidnappers along the Hawan Kibo–Rafin Sanyin Road in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The rescue operation followed a swift response by troops of Sector 6 Operation Enduring Peace after receiving a distress call in the early hours of Friday.

According to the Media Information Officer of Operation Safe Haven, Captain Polycarp Oteh, troops immediately mobilised to the area and successfully rescued six of the abducted victims, while efforts continue to locate the remaining victim, identified as the driver of the vehicle.

“At the early hours of today, troops of Sector 6 Operation Enduring Peace responded to a distress call on a kidnapping incident and swiftly mobilised, successfully rescuing six out of the kidnapped victims,” Oteh said.

“Deliberate effort is currently ongoing to rescue the driver. There is no cause for alarm. Troops are on top of the situation.”

The incident occurred when suspected kidnappers reportedly intercepted a vehicle conveying passengers from Lafia, Nasarawa State, to Jos, Plateau State.

On arrival at the scene, troops discovered an ash-coloured Honda vehicle abandoned by the roadside with its occupants missing.

A search-and-rescue operation was immediately launched in the surrounding bushes, leading to the successful rescue of six victims identified as Ibrahim Usman, Ali Ibrahim, Sabiu Idris, Private Ibrahim Musa, Hamisu Abubakar and Joshua Johanna.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the victims were travelling from Lafia to Jos when their vehicle was intercepted by the kidnappers along the route.

Security sources said intensive search operations are continuing in the area to locate the missing driver and prevent further criminal activities along the highway.

Operation Safe Haven said troops remain on high alert, with routine patrols ongoing across the Joint Operations Area to protect communities and critical infrastructure from security threats.
