On Thursday mid-night, suspected warlords invaded one of the villages in Oso Edda and beheaded over four persons in the area.
The warlords took the heads of the deceased away after beheading them.
Many people sustained varying degrees of injuries in the attack.
It was also gathered that many indigenes of the community were abducted by the warlords and have not been seen till now.
The state Commissioner for Internal Security, Chief Etta Ude who confirmed the incident on Friday morning, said security has been beef up in the area.
“It is a fact. By 5pm on Thursday, I was called that some hoodlums, that’s what I call them. So, I was called that the hoodlums went into one of the villages in Oso Edda and massacred almost four persons.
“I intervened, and I called the two council chairmen and we made a deliberate attempt to stop it from escalating.
”I also called Army battalion, the police and other security agencies and they all moved in there. As of now, everywhere is calm”, he said.
Ude called for massive arrest to end the killings and warned perpetrators not to dare government.
“What we have taken as a decision with the Commissioner of Police, is that there must be a massive arrest so that we will know the root cause of this problem.
“If there are people who are involved, they must be put to book and the law will take it’s cause. We should not be troubling our dear governor all the time.
