The assailants left 40 persons dead and over 80 others injured in the attack.

“We have recovered the last vehicle they used in the operation and we have made some arrests. We have recovered some vital things which we are working on.

He said the 71 suspects were arrested within the month for cattle rustling, armed robbery, cultism, kidnapping, human trafficking, and theft of commercial motorcycles.

Mr Adeleye said the corps already recovered 31 stolen motorcycles.
