Tuesday, July 15, 2025 - Troops of Sector 2, Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), in conjunction with members of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN), have neutralised two bandits and recovered arms and ammunition during a special operation in Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The operation followed credible intelligence indicating that
bandit leaders were distributing arms captured from local vigilantes during a
recent attack at Odare Forest on July 6.
According to security report, the troops laid a successful
ambush along routes linking Dutsen Zaki and Odare Forests.
“At about 1330 hours on July 14, the troops made contact with
the bandits. Two of the criminals were neutralised while others fled with
possible gunshot wounds,” the report said.
The troops further exploited the general area and recovered
one AK-47 rifle, six AK-47 magazines, 27 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition,
and a Boxer motorcycle.
The sources added that the recovered items were in custody
while follow-up operations were ongoing to track down and neutralise other
fleeing members of the bandit syndicate.
