The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali has announced the arrest of 10 suspects allegedly involved in the failed attack on Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state.
Alkali at a
special briefing of State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja
on Thursday May 27, said the suspects are still being detained by the police
without prosecution because judiciary staffs are on strike.
The IGP also
said investigations so far show that the outcome is contrary to Ortom's claim
of being attacked by herdsmen at his farm near Tyo-mu, along Makurdi-Gboko
Highway of Benue State.
Alkali said;
“Those who
organised and those who pulled the trigger have all been arrested and
investigation is ongoing.
“We have had
them for over a month but the courts have been closed for over three months,
where do I take them to?”
