The Plateau State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Alfred Alabo confirmed the incident, said his command has commenced an investigation to unravel those behind the attack. Meanwhile, security operatives have been drafted to the community to prevent a breakdown of law and order, while the victims were buried yesterday.
