Over 100 suspects have been arrested in Plateau for
allegedly invading warehouse in the State Agricultural Development
Programme (PADP).
This was disclosed by the Commander of Operation Safe Haven,
Major General Chukwuemeka Okonkwo on Sunday in Jos, the state
capital.
He said security operatives cannot watch what he describes as
misguided elements and hoodlums destroying government and private
properties.
Okonkwo noted that security personal swung into action to arrest
the suspects to serve as a deterrent to others.
The suspects said to have destroyed the warehouse were arrested
at Dogon Dutse around Angwan Rukuba and west of mines as well as
Dogon large at Custom warehouse.
