“His house was set ablaze, while his wife was killed by the attackers.”
“It has not been established who perpetrated the dastardly act. The said Ebubeagu commander alleged that it was one Okporie Ashango and his cohorts.
“The Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Aliyu Garba, has directed that immediate investigation be activated by the Deputy Commissioner of Police in-charge of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) to fish out those behind the attack.
“Detectives of SCIID and operatives of the Command’s tactical teams have taken over proceedings in the area.
“It is rather unfortunate that mischief-makers are still fomenting fracas in the state in spite of the grace of witnessing a new year.”
