Meanwhile, TIDA youth President, Peter Ahemba confirmed the arrest and said the 4 persons are in police custody, but he is yet to ascertain the reason behind their arrest because two of the four persons taken to Lafia are Alago natives.
“Yes! Some IDPs have been arrested, about four of them, but we are yet to find out what really prompted the arrest because they were arrested together with some Alago people. So, we are really trying to find out what is the reason behind their arrest, to get information whether their arrest has the connection with the incident of the Governor or not”. He said.

He appreciated the Governor for the kind gesture done on his people, pleading government to quickly intervene into the crisis that has bedevilled his people since early this year so that the people can go back home to prepare for farming.
