The Nasarawa State Police Command has arrested 10 people for allegedly setting ablaze the houses deserted by the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Nasarawa/Benue border towns.
DSP Idirisu Kennedy, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Nasarawa, stated this on Saturday while addressing newsmen at the command headquarters in Lafia.
According to him, surprisingly some of the suspects arrested in connection with the offence turned out to be of the same tribal extraction with their victims.
The PPRO explained that the arrest was made possible due to the aggressive patrols of the affected areas.
He said that the suspects would be charge to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.
