Troops of Sector 6, Operation Enduring Peace, have arrested four suspects during a cordon-and-search operation launched in connection with the recent attack on Kumm Village in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State.
Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the operation was conducted at about 11:30 a.m. on July 12 following a sustained manhunt for the perpetrators of the July 11 attack on the community.
During the operation, troops raided Luggere Fulani hamlets in neighbouring Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, where four suspects were apprehended.
The suspects were identified as Abbas Musa, 27; Haruna Jibrin, 56; Hassan Ibrahim, 22; and Isah Aliyu, 50.
The suspects are currently undergoing preliminary investigation to determine their alleged involvement in the attack on Kumm Village and any links to other criminal activities in the area.
Security sources said troops have continued offensive and intelligence-driven operations across the Riyom–Barkin Ladi axis to apprehend other fleeing suspects and prevent further attacks.
