The Assistant Inspector General of Police, in charge of Zone 4, AIG Ebong Eyibio, disclosed this while parading the suspects to newsmen at the Police headquarters in Jos, the Plateau State capital, on Thursday.

He was represented by the Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Plateau State Police Command, DSP Alfred Alabo.

Alabo said the Command successfully repelled an attack on villages in Mangu LGA on Wednesday, following intelligence about a planned attack on the Ntam community and the ASTC Company in Mangu LGA.

He added that a team of agile police officers from the IGP Special Intervention Squad stationed at the ASTC, in conjunction with the Area Commander Pankshin and the DPO, thwarted the attempted attack.
