The police command in Plateau says eight suspects have been
arrested over the recent killings in Plateau state.
During an interview with Channels Television on Thursday,
Alfred Alabo, Plateau police spokesperson, said normalcy has been restored to
the communities affected by the attacks.
On Christmas Eve, over 150 people were killed in 17
communities in Bokkos, Barkin-Ladi, and Mangu LGAs of Plateau state.
The violent attacks snowballed to Christmas and Boxing Day.
Several houses were destroyed by the gunmen during the
attacks, leaving many residents displaced.
After the massacre, the federal government promised that the
affected communities and victims would get justice.
Subsequently, Kayode Egbetokun, the inspector-general of
police, ordered the deployment of a tactical team and equipment to Plateau.
Speaking on the development, Alabo said the police have
recorded “tremendous success” from the deployment of the tactical team.
“Concerning the IGP’s deployment, we are getting tremendous
success from that process. It will also interest you to know that eight persons
are now in our custody,” he said.
“We have moved them to the state CID where the AIG zone 4
and the commissioner of police are overseeing the affairs of the operation and
investigation.
“Concerning people going back to their villages, we have
restored normalcy and escorting people back to their villages.”
