A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Wednesday evening, said the suspects are currently assisting with the ongoing investigation.

He noted that the Nigeria Police Force was diligently working to uncover the motives behind the attacks, which claimed over 50 lives in the dawn of Monday, identify and apprehend other suspects involved in the killings.

ACP Adejobi also said that as a follow-up to the visit of the Inspector-General of Police to the State on Tuesday, he has directed the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Operations, DIG Kwazhi Dali Yakubu, to stand charge, coordinate the operations and calm the situation. “The DIG, in line with this directive, have led the police team on the aerial surveillance of the Bassa and Bokos areas and is currently engaging stakeholders at the affected areas to reassure them of police presence while ensuring confidence building,” he stated.

“After a general review of the operation, the IGP has ordered the immediate deployment of additional police personnel and resources to Plateau State. These deployments will serve to enhance rapid response capabilities and patrol of high-risk areas, to gather critical information and proactively address potential threats. The Police team, led by the DIG Operations, has also commenced on-the-ground assessment for the strategic deployment of the additional operational resources.”
