Jos: “Those  Who Plotted Attack Have Been Arrested” –  Plateau Govt Confirms

By Adesina Soyooye

The Plateau State Government has revealed that those who plotted the blood-cuddling attack on Palm Sunday have been arrested.

This was disclosed by the State Commissioner for Information, Joyce Ramnap. She said that those who threatened that there will be an attack in Jos,  after Ramadan have been arrested.

Recall that about 30 people were confirmed dead and many more  injured when gunmen riding motorcycles, invaded the Angwan Rukuba community, Jos North Local Government Area of the State.

The Commissioner who spoke in an interview on Arise Television noted that no government will be aware of threats of attacks and do nothing about it.

Her words:  “To start with, no Government will be aware that they will be attacking the community and they will not do anything about it.

“Those who announced there would be attacks in Jos after Ramadan have been arrested.

“The State Government alone will not be able to achieve the necessary results required. Everyone has a responsibility for these people to be brought to book.

“And again, the Deputy Inspector-General of Police was in Plateau, and the Governor reiterated that position to say, okay, we want to see what happens to the outcome of this prosecution and the investigation that will be conducted and hopefully more arrests should be made in this case.

“Now you can see that when arrest is done, it may not go through the military, the army. The arrest will go through the police. The investigation will go through a channel.

The prosecution will go through another; that is the Judiciary, and it’s a whole team that will work on this issue to be able to bring a lasting solution.”
