The Commissioner of Police, Mr Bashir Makama, confirmed the incident to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Makurdi.

Makama said the police had already swung into action by setting up a network for the arrest of the suspects and appealed to the public to volunteer information that would lead to their arrests.

“We have already visited the site; we are constructing our narrative with the purpose of narrowing down possible suspects before effecting arrests.
