The assailants launched their assault on Tuesday morning, leaving some individuals dead and many others wounded.
In response to the heinous crime, Faniyan denounced the act and pledged to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Speaking on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Olatunji Disu, Faniyan vowed that the Plateau command would employ all legal means to identify, apprehend, and prosecute those responsible for the heinous act. The commissioner assured the residents of Plateau's unwavering commitment to curbing crime and criminality in the region. "We will do everything within our constitutional powers to identify, arrest and prosecute those responsible for this dastardly act," Faniyan affirmed.
To assist in the investigation, Faniyan urged the community members to furnish the police with accurate and timely information. He further urged the residents to maintain peace and vigilance while warning against taking matters into their own hands. "Jungle justice will only escalate tension and impede proper justice for the victims," Faniyan cautioned.
