Another bloody attack was on Monday averted in Kwakwi village,  Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State, where similar attacks claimed the lives of two prominent lawmakers and several others last month.
The state police command in collaboration with the youths of the area caught one of the assailants who came in the dead of the night to attack a family in the village.
The assailant was in possession of an AK 47 rifle.
Parading the suspected attacker before journalists at the Police Headquarters in Jos, the state Police Commissioner, Emmanuel Ayeni, said,“at about 2.00am the youths of the village observed the movement of the attackers, mobilized and informed the police who moved swiftly to the area."
The CP, who confirmed that no one was killed, appealed to citizens to remain vigilant and give information to the police in order help fight crime.
