Less than one week after President Bola Tinubu’s directive, 28 suspected masterminds of the killings in Yelewata, in Guma Local Government Area of Benue State, have been arrested.

Their arrest was disclosed by the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun.

Addressing a news conference on Tuesday, Egbetokun said the police are pursuing others involved in the killings in Yelewata.

The police chief insisted that his officers are not overwhelmed, noting that they are mopping up light and small weapons illegally acquired by some individuals.

He also disclosed that those apprehended will be arraigned in court, including the 22 suspects who were arrested in Jos over the gruesome murder of nine persons travelling to Quanpan for a wedding.

A few weeks ago, suspected armed herders invaded Yelewata, killing around 200 people and destroying numerous properties in the community.

The incident, which drew widespread sympathy, including from Pope Leo XIV, prompted President Bola Tinubu to visit Benue State.

During his visit, Tinubu ordered the IGP to arrest those responsible for the heinous act in the state.
