He further said, “The incident has been reported to the police, and to God be the glory, some miners suspected to be behind the crime have been arrested.”

City & Crime further learnt that the incident almost degenerated into a crisis as herders mobilised to the area in an attempt to attack the miners but the quick intervention of security agents doused the situation.

The spokeswoman of the FCT Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, confirmed the incident, saying seven suspects had been arrested.
