The suspects were arrested at about 1:40 a.m. on October 27, 2026, in the NEPA area of Jos North.

The Media Information Officer of OPEP, Capt. Chinonso Polycarp Oteh, who confirmed the arrests yesterday, said troops of Sector 1 of the operation apprehended the suspects following allegations linking them to the attack.

According to Oteh, the suspects are currently in custody for further investigation and necessary action.

He urged the public to cooperate with the military and other security agencies by providing timely and credible information that could help prevent crime and facilitate the arrest of suspects.
