The massacre in Plateau state in Nigeria is still fresh in the minds of Nigerians, with the citizens calling on the Government to do something about it and change the situation.
The Special Military Task Force, “Operation Save Haven’’ did just that yesterday when they paraded three suspects in connection with the killings
The three suspects were arrested in the Gashish District in the Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau.
The suspects were on display along with 14 others in Jos
The army, however, did not reveal the names of the suspects
Speaking at the parade of the suspects, the spokesman of the STF, Umar Adams said that the suspects had access to sophisticated weapons, he also noted that two of the suspects were Fulani herdsmen while the remaining one was Berom
Adams said, “We all know that some days back, some villages in Barkin Ladi were attacked and these three suspects were arrested in connection with that.
“As our men were repelling the attacks in those areas, we arrested these suspects with four rifles, three locally made guns and one AK47.
“The other 14 people were arrested in connection with civil unrest recently experienced in the state.”
Mr Adams said the suspects were still being investigated and that more arrests would be made in the course of time.
