Investigation Department (FCID) to provide additional forensic and
other investigative assets to the Taraba State Command to aid
investigations into the incident.

the Police in the bid towards unravelling the authors of the crime,
their motives and circumstances surrounding the unfortunate killing
of the Priest.

dastardly act will not go undetected and unpunished.
