Troops killed three suspected bandits, recovered weapons in Plateau: OPSH
Troops of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) have neutralised three suspected bandits in the Wase Local Government Area (LGA) of Plateau.
Maj. Samson Zhakom, the media officer of OPSH, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday in Jos.
Mr Zhakom said the feat followed an intelligence tip, adding that the troops also recovered weapons during the operations at a criminal hideout along the fringes of the Pinau community in Wase LGA.
“During the operation, troops made contact with criminal elements terrorising the general area, including the Pinau – Gimbi road.
“During the exchange of fire, troops overwhelmed the criminals with superior firepower and neutralised three of the suspected bandits.
“While others ran away with wounds from gunshots, troops exploited the general area and recovered one AK-47 rifle and one AK-47 magazine,” he said.
Mr Zhakom said the troops had commenced a follow-up operation to intercept the fleeing criminals.
