Some of the suspects were said to have been arrested by the military operation and are currently giving useful information.
Media Aide to Hom Agbese, Lawrence Oduh, confirmed the attack, adding that the arrested suspects, have also made stunning revelations to the military operation during the preliminary investigation which was witnessed by the locals.
