The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has vowed to fish out perpetrators of the January 1 attacks on Benue State villages.
The attackers invaded five villages in Guma and Logo Local Governments where they killed 73 persons and displaced 50,000 others.
The Benue State Government held a mass burial for the deceased on Thursday in Makurdi.
Idris, who paid a courtesy call on the Tor Tiv, Prof. James Ayatse, on Thursday in Makurdi, said security agents were already combing all corners toward apprehending the gunmen.
He called on traditional rulers to cooperate with security agencies in the efforts to restore law and order in Benue State.
The Police boss said operational numbers had been released to the general public and urged the monarch to mobilise his subjects to use them to assist the Police.
Idris condoled the Benue State people over the human and material losses and promised to ensure an end to such carnage.
In his remarks, Ayatse pledged to mobilize the Benue State traditional institution to support the IGP to execute the presidential mandate of restoring permanent peace to Benue.
He commended Idris for the measures already taken to avert further crises, but urged him to do more to restore normalcy in the affected communities.
The paramount ruler also charged him to fish out the attackers and bring them to book, and advised the IGP to make phone contacts available to the 10 first class chiefs in the state.
President Muhammadu Buhari ordered Idris to relocate to Benue State in order to find lasting solution to the killings.
