POLICE ARREST OF 28 SUSPECTS OVER YELEWATA KILLINGS
The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has announced the arrest of 28 persons suspected to be masterminds of the killings in Yelewata, Benue State.
Addressing a news conference in Abuja on Tuesday, the IGP said the police were on the heels of other suspects who participated in the Yelewata killings that led to the death of 47 persons.
He assured Nigerians that the police are not overwhelmed as they are mopping up light and small weapons illegally acquired by some persons.
Egbetokun added that the police is also intensifying its border patrols in order to curtail the influx of irregular migrants into the country.
The IGP added that the arrested suspects will be arraigned in court soon including the 22 suspects who were arrested in Jos over the gruesome murder of nine persons travelling to Quanpan for a wedding.
