On 6 July 2025, troops of 3 Division/Operation SAFE HAVEN on night patrol along Kafi Abu-Rakwok Road in Gashish District in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area (LGA) of Plateau State intercepted a suspected militia. The suspect was arrested while in an ambush position with the possible intent of attacking unsuspecting commuters in the area. Items recovered from the suspect include one fabricated AK-47 rifle, one AK-47 magazine, and 30 rounds of 7.62 mm (Special) ammunition.
The suspect and recovered weapon and ammunition are in the custody of troops for further action. Meanwhile, efforts are ongoing to conduct follow-up operations to intercept other members of the criminal syndicate.
Troops of the 3 Division/Operation SAFE HAVEN are intensifying operations against the use of firearms by unauthorized individuals to disrupt the security of the Joint Operations Area. We, therefore urge the public to continually furnish troops with actionable information to carry out the operations successfully, while also addressing the challenge of proliferation of arms.
