The Plateau State Police Command announced on Friday that it has started looking into the burning of the house of Michal Adanchi, the district chief of Bokkos town in Bokkos Local Government Area of the state, on account of a protest by women in the community.
According to information obtained, the women torched the house Friday morning around 12:30 a.m., after some community members were arrested on suspicion of being involved in the previous homicides that had occurred there.
A few days before Christmas, a few villages in the state were attacked, resulting in the destruction of property valued at millions of naira, the displacement of over 10,000 people, and the deaths of over 150 people.
Spokesperson for the command, Alabo Alfred, said normalcy had been restored in the area.
He added that the command was working to bring the perpetrators to justice.
