This is to bring new impetus to the efforts of the Force to nip in the bud further attacks in the mentioned states”,  Moshood said.

According to him, eight  suspected herdsmen arrested at the scene of the killings in Guma local council in Benue state are being prosecuted, with six  of them remanded in Prison custody.
