The Police authorities said they had
commenced investigation into the matter.
While the Irigwe Development Association
alleged that the document was recovered at a
scene where some persons were recently
killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen , MACBAN
said the ID card was stolen by Irigwe youths
who attacked the house of Idris while he was
worshiping in the mosque .

The President of IDA and former member ,

scene of an attack where people were killed.

“ The issue of identity cards is a small matter.

We also recovered telephone handsets .

chairman of MACBAN in Plateau State ,

ID card was stolen along with other personal
documents.

He said, “ The owner of the ID card is the

including the certificates of his children ,
indigene ’ s certificates of his wife and
children , his ( MACBAN) identity card , vehicle
documents and other personal items .


“ He has reported to the Police and the report
has been documented . ”

report was lodged by either parties , the
spokesperson of Plateau State Police
Command , Matthias Tyopev , an Assistant
Superintendent of Police said , “ It is a sensitive
matter; no comment for now , until after
diligent investigation . ”
