The police in Plateau State have allayed the fears of residents over
the speculation that some of the insurgents being dislodged from the
three states where emergency rule has been declared were finding their
way to the state, saying there is no cause for alarm.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Chris Olakpe, said at a press briefing that residents had nothing to fear as the various security agencies were collaborating to ensure that there was no backlash of the situation in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.
He said the war against crime in the state was yielding fruits as the command smashed a 24-man armed robbery syndicate which specialized in snatching of cars, handsets, laptops and production of ammunition.
Parading the suspects at the police headquarters, Olakpe said: “The gang members, some of whom claimed to be students of the University of Jos, specialized in car robbery using pestle and handmade guns.
”We also have in our custody an occultic gang group who murdered a man last December, putting his buttered body in a Ghana- must go bag”.
He said about 18 cars were recovered from neighboring states of Bauchi, Kano and Nassarawa and called on the public to be alert and car owners to ensure they do not drive at odd times.
