The police in Plateau state said
on Sunday that they are not in possession of an identity card belonging to a
leader of herdsmen in the state.
Tyopev Terna, Command
spokesperson said Zakariya Idris, a senior member of Miyetti Allah Cattle
Breeders Association (MACBAN) who owns the ID card, was at the Bassa Divisional
Headquarters where he reported a case of armed invasion at his home.
Irigwe and Fulani residents in
Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau state had clashed on Wednesday leaving
civilians and security operatives dead.
“The man whose face appeared on
the ID card has reported at the Bassa Division today that his ID card was
missing after his house was broken into during an attack,” the Police PRO told
newsmen.
“But we have not found the ID
card since nobody has brought it to the police.”
There were reports that Idris’ ID
card was found at the scene of a recent deadly attack in the state.
The report quoted a community
leader of Irigwe extraction in Bassa Local Government Area as stating that the
ID card was found at the scene of an attack and that it had been submitted to
the police alongside other items, including mobile telephones, recovered from
the attackers.
The police however denied
