Troops Of 3 Division Joint Task Force Operation Enduring Peace Recover Weapon, Ammunition In Plateau State

As part of efforts aimed at sustaining the clampdown on militias, bandits and other criminal elements in the Joint Operations Area (JOA) troops of 3 Division/Joint Task Force Operation ENDURING PEACE (JTF OPEP) conducted intelligence-based operation at Manja along the fringes of Mangu and Bokkos Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Plateau State on 24 September 2025. During the operation, troops made contact with elements of armed bandits who withdrew in disarray due to superior firepower of troops. Furthermore, troops exploited the general area and recovered assorted rifle, ammunition and two mobile phones abandoned by the criminals.

The recovered weapon and ammunition are in custody for further action. Meanwhile, efforts are ongoing to intercept and neutralise the fleeing criminals.

Troops’ operational alertness and readiness are bedrock for which the operational achievement is based, and these fundamentals will continue to assist the operations to secure the JTF OPEP Joint Operations Area and bring perpetrators of heinous crimes to justice.
