SPECIAL FEATURE: LATE KANGE RAYMOND KAHNGE

Abstract

Shortly after graduating from the Nigerian Police Academy in Kaduna in 1959, and eventually getting enlisted into the Nigerian Police Force (NPF), as it was then referred to, a call of duty took Mr. James Yuwa Kange to Gboko, a part of the then Tiv Native Authority. He would go on to serve as an undercover agent in the 'Tiv Riots of 1963', one of many political crises that engulfed Nigeria at the time. It was while on active duty that his 'sharp and active' eyes beheld a beautiful damsel. In April 1966, Mbayiman Rachel Tolough, having completed her year seven (7) the previous year, got married to James Yuwa Kange. The young couple were blessed with their first child the following year.
