Twenty-five persons have been arrested by the Benue State Police Command for the attack on Igumale Police Station in the Ado Local Government Area of the state.

During the attack on Sunday afternoon, some police officers were killed by gunmen on motorcycles who also carted away arms from the station.

The Benue State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Moses Yamu confirmed the incident saying the force was on the trail of the assailants.

He said, “Criminal hideouts in the area were raided on Sunday, after the attack and about 25 persons were arrested. We are screening them to ascertain their culpability.

“All mercenaries have been set on ground to fish out those behind the attack and recover the arms that were carted away. They made away with only three arms; they did not have access to the armoury.

“They actually came for the arms because the suspects inside the cell, including some of their accomplices, were intact.

“We lost two policemen to the attack. But the Inspector that led the team and a corporal are being treated.”
