The Plateau police command on Wednesday threatened to arrest traditional and tribal leaders in the state whose domains continued to record attacks by unknown gunmen.

Mr Chris Olakpe, the Commissioner of Police in the state, said this in Jos at a stakeholders' meeting with various tribes in Plateau North Senatorial zone.
.
Olakpe debunked the claims by the leaders that the attacks were carried out by unknown gunmen.
.
He said that the police had resolved to arrest the leaders as accomplices because as custodian of the society no crime would happen without their knowledge.
.
"The command hereby gives the Berom and Fulani traditional leaders in Barkin Ladi seven days within which to produce the perpetrators of the recent killings.

Plateau State doesn't deserve this one at all. I agree with this step because it is the right thing to do.
