Recall that after the Christmas Eve genocide in the above mentioned Plateau communities, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbelokun deployed AIG zone 4, Ebong Eyibio to Plateau with the instructions to unravel the attackers.
Consequently, The Plateau State Command of the Nigerian Police revealed they have successfully repelled attacks on villages in Mangu LGA.

He wondered how the attackers defied 24 hours curfew imposed by the state government and killed people mostly women and children in Kwahaslalek community in Mangu LGA.
While appealing for calm, the clergy advocates the creation of state police, calling on security personnel to discharge their responsibility with high sense of professionalism so that people would have confidence on them.
Recall that the dust to dawn curfew imposed on Mangu LGA on Tuesday by Governor Caleb Mutfwang to curtail the escalation of security breach is still in force
