He said, “Victor Davou and Dagwom Joshua were also arrested for cattle rustling, while Mark Utaru, Isa Kabiru and Bitrus Emmanuel were arrested for robbery.”
He explained that Patrick Choji and Yakubu Davou were found in possession of fire arms, while Sani Haruna was arrested for impersonation.
Umar said the suspects were arrested in Jos North, Jos South, Barkin Ladi and Nasarawa State.
