Police Public Relations Officer Ismail Noman said on Saturday in Lafia that,
XJieng AI Jung, 50 and Wenso Ping, 45, were ambushed by unknown gunmen at about
2.28p.m. on the their way to Abuja.
He said that although the gunmen, wielding
sophisticated weapons, were still at large, the police had begun investigation
to track them.
According to him, security operatives in collaboration with
vigilante groups, local hunters and community leaders have also been involved
in the search of the victims. He said security operatives had been deployed in
to the forests and bush around the area to arrest the suspects and rescue the
victims.
“The Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Abubakar Sadiq-Bello, has directed
that the search operation team should do everything possible to ensure that the
victims are rescued,’’ he said.
Noman explained that the police had also
increased stop and search activities across the state borders as part of
security measures.
He called on the people of the state to be law-abiding,
respect the constituted authority and report any suspected person in their
domain to any nearest police station.
