Kyari Takes Over Investigation Of Attack On Ortom
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Muhammed Adamu has set up a Special Investigation Task Force to further probe the attack on Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State.
The team led by the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Abba Kyari has already arrived in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.
A statement on Sunday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CP Frank Mba, said Kyari is expected to takeover over and consolidate all on-going investigation into the matter.
The IGP last Sunday ordered immediate deployment of a team of specialised investigators from the Force Criminal Investigations Department (FCID) Abuja to Benue State.
The deployment, according to the IGP is to provide additional investigative support to the Benue State Police Command, following the attack on Ortom by some people he identified as herders on his farm at Tyo-mu on the Makurdi-Gboko road.

“The team is expected to take over and consolidate all on-going investigation into the incident. The Team is also expected to investigate all angles of the reported attack with a view to ensuring that all persons empirically linked to the incident are apprehended and brought to book.”
