The Plateau State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of some suspects in connection with the killings in Barkin Ladi and Bokkos Local Government Areas of the State on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2023.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Alfred Alabo, made the known to Leadership in Jos, the state capital, on Thursday night.
However, the Police spokesperson did not give details of the arrest, saying he would issue a formal statement concerning the arrest this Friday.
The attack on the two local councils, which left over 200 persons dead, thousands displaced, and several houses burnt, began on Christmas Eve and persisted throughout Christmas Day.
Recall that terrorist groups suspected to be bandits recently sacked several communities in the two local councils, killing scores and destroying properties worth millions.
The developments have attracted a barrage of reactions across board, with security operatives making efforts to avoid further attacks.
