Additionally, on April 22,2025, troops of Sector 2 OPSH conducted stop and search operation along Katnan- Buratali Road, Kadarko District in Wase LGA of Plateau state.
During the operation, troops arrested three suspected robbers. The suspects were arrested in possession of one fabricated pistol, and brought to custody for interrogation.
“During the interrogation, the suspects confessed to have been operating alongside other gang members and volunteered to lead troops to their hideout to recover more weapons and arrest other gang members.
“However, while leading troops to the hideout, the suspects attempted to disarm the troops in order to escape and were immediately neutralised.
“OPSH will continue to deploy every legitimate means to protecting law-abiding residents within the Joint Operations Area from criminal attacks and wanton destruction of their property.
