Plateau State governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has urged the police to cast their search net beyond the perpetrators of the Christmas eve’s massacre.
Remember that over 195 persons were killed in Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas of the state in an attack by terrorists that left several injured and about 10,000 displaced.
The Inspector-General of the Police, Kayode Egbetokun, visited the scenes and the governor on Friday during which Mutfwang desired him to go after the perpetrators and their sponsors.
He said this among others saying, “Nigerians trust you and expect so much from you to change the narrative of policing in the country. We are happy to receive you and your team; the last couple of days have been very traumatic.
“In the pursuit of criminals, some overzealous security agents turn victims into suspects. This could be very traumatising to communities. If we share intelligence adequately, it will help the situation.
“This is not about ethnic profiling; let’s demonstrate to Nigerians that this monster can be tamed and don’t just go after the perpetrators, their sponsors too should be unmasked to bring the problems to a closure.”
