Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) in charge of security in Plateau State and some parts of the neighbouring Bauchi and Kaduna states have arrested 109 persons suspected to have taken part in looting some warehouses, in Jos, Plateau State. The suspects defied the 24 hours curfew imposed, on Saturday, in Jos North and Jos South council areas of the state and broke into the warehouse of Plateau Agricultural Development Programme ( PADP) at Dongo Dutse and carted away many agricultural implements including fertilizers Speaking with newsmen after parading the suspect at the OPSH headquarters in Jos, the Commander of the Operations, Major General Chukwuemeka Okonkwo, said the miscreants were arrested looting public and private places as well as those that violated the curfew order imposed in Jos North and Jos South Local Government Areas of the state. Major General Chukwuemeka Okonkwo stated that security operatives cannot watch misguided elements and hoodlums destroying government and private properties adding that this prompted the security outfit to swing into action with the arrests and to serve as a deterrent to others. Some items found in possession of the looters include agricultural products such as water pump machines, spraying boxes, chemicals and insecticides, bags of fertiliser as well as office equipment. Meanwhile, despite security presence in some parts of Jos, the State capital and it's environs hoodlums on Sunday stormed some warehouses and looted the stocks therein.
