The Command also arrested and paraded one suspected Isaac Dung, “m” of adjacent Open University Jos, for vandalizing JED property/theft of armored cables on August 21, 2023 at about 0230hrs after receiving a destress call at the Rantya Divisional headquarters that gunshot sounds were heard around.
According to the information made available to journalists, the commissioner disclosed that the gunshot sounds heard around the transformer, immediately alerted a team of agile men led by the DPO Rantya Division, SP Iliya Akawu, who rushed to the scene and arrested one Isaac Dung ‘m’ of adjacent Open University Jos.
The suspect was arrested after he vandalized and stole armored cables of the JED transformer in the area and as investigation still continues, future developments would be communicated in due course.
When interrogated by team of journalists, the suspect denied having any link to JED.
Okoro, therefore said, “I would like to on behalf of the officers and men of the Command express my heartfelt gratitude to the Government and the good people of Plateau State, for the support given to me from the moment I assumed office as the Commissioner of Police in the state.
“We would not have achieved such tremendous successes without the cooperation and intelligence we have been receiving from the good and peace loving citizens of Plateau State. For this, we are grateful. We have put in place a series of strategies in order to prevent crime and ensure the security of all lives and properties within the state”, Okoro stated.
