Plateau killings: Police speak on ‘arrest’ of suspects

Commander of the IGP Intelligence Response Team, Abba Kyari, a Deputy
Commissioner of Police, has reacted to the report that his team
arrested some suspects in connection with the recent killings in
Plateau State.

Kyari said the pictures being circulated online were those arrested by
his team few months back in Benue State.

He, however, said progress was being made in the operations in Plateau
State as IGP has deployed all the special Units of the Nigeria Police
with the hope of getting those behind the cruel acts to book.

He said, "My attention has been drawn to several pictures of suspects
arrested with Ak47 Rifles with attached false write-up that we
arrested them in Plateau State.

Please disregard the false news going around. We arrested those
suspects in Benue State about two months ago and recovered the rifles.
It has nothing to do with Plateau State.

"Progress is being made in the operations in Plateau State as IGP has
deployed all the special Units of the Nigeria Police and very soon,
the Force Public Relations officer (FPRO) will make public what was
achieved.

"Our hearts are with the families that lost their loved ones and may
their souls rest in perfect peace. We would not relent until all
perpetrators are brought to justice by God's Grace."
