The state commissioner of police, Tanko Jimeta, who has ordered for full scale investigation into the incident, also solicited for the assistance of the sister security agencies, vigilante group and hunters in the area in arresting the perpetrators.

He also appealed to the traditional rulers, village heads and youth leaders to assist in providing information that may lead to fishing out those responsible for the dastardly act.
