PublishedThirteen more suspects have been arrested by the police in connection with the killing of over 22 persons in Jos, Plateau State, by suspected Irigwe militia on Saturday, bringing the total number of suspects in custody to 33.

The force spokesman, Frank Mba, said this in statement on Monday titled, ‘Plateau attacks: IGP deploys surveillance helicopter, says police committed to restoring order.’ Mba added that the Head of the Police Intervention Team, DIG Sanusi Lemu, was already on the ground in Plateau, “coordinating the investigative, operational and peace-building response.”

The CNG spokesperson said matters had “reached a point where silence has become complicity and inaction no longer an option.” “We demand the promulgation of special penal laws for the punishment of such offences that involve the ambush and killings of innocent public highway users.”Also, the Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, on Monday said his administration was working to stop the killings.

The governor maintained that the curfew earlier imposed on the three local government areas would remain “while we monitor the situation.”Meanwhile, the governor was still at the Plateau State Specialist Hospital when a man, Peter Ibrahim, brought a corpse, saying he was killed in Congo Russia community in Jos North LGA.
