The suspects had allegedly been terrorising and robbing students and communities around the Taraba State University Jalingo.
The statement read in part: “The suspects upon arrest have confessed to the crime, and they are giving useful information to the Police that will lead to the arrest of their cohorts now at large.”
Meanwhile, the Command has refuted reports that more than 100 people were abducted along Zing Road, on Saturday night, saying only two persons were kidnapped.
