Thursday, May 14, 2026 - Troops of Sector 3, Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP), have arrested an additional suspect in connection with the alleged illegal sale and distribution of military camouflage materials in Plateau State.
The suspect, identified as Mr. Hamisu Pam, 45, was arrested
at about 1530 hours on May 11, 2026 at his shop in Taminus Market, Jos North
Local Government Area.
The arrest followed ongoing investigations linked to earlier
apprehended suspects alleged to be involved in the circulation of
military-pattern uniforms within the state.
During the operation, troops reportedly recovered several
yards of camouflage fabric from the suspect’s shop, believed to be part of the
items under investigation.
Authorities said the suspect is connected to previously
arrested individuals currently in custody over similar allegations.
The military added that all suspects are undergoing further
interrogation as part of efforts to dismantle networks involved in the illegal
trade of military materials, which is considered a threat to security
operations and public safety.
Operation Enduring Peace reiterated its commitment to
tightening controls on the circulation of restricted military items and
enhancing intelligence-led operations across Plateau State.
Security agencies have also urged members of the public to
report suspicious activities, particularly the unauthorized sale or possession
of military-grade materials.
