Operation Safe Haven (OSPH) in charge of security in Plateau State and parts of neighbouring Kaduna and Bauchi States has apprehended eight suspects in connection with the shooting of three women in Bassa local government area of Plateau State.
The OPSH in a statement signed by the Military Information Officer Major Ishaku Gaji Takwa pointed out that the suspects shot the women in their farm close to Rafin Bauna general area of the local government.
“The troops earlier responded to a distress call that three women were shot on their farm close to Rafin Bauna by unknown gunmen. Troops immediately mobilised to the scene and discovered two of the three women were shot dead on the spot, while one of the women sustained gunshot wounds.
“The bodies were recovered while the injured woman was evacuated to a medical facility for medical care. Unfortunately, she later died while receiving treatment.”
According to the statement, the general area was immediately cordoned off and eight suspects were arrested in connection with the shooting incidence adding that the suspects are currently in the custody of OPSH and are undergoing interrogation.
However, Commander OPSH Major General Ibrahim Ali has once again charged personnel to remain vigilant and take necessary measures to clamp down on criminal elements in the communities.
General Ali also urges law-abiding citizens to always make use of the helcentreer lines distributed to provide information to troops for prompt action. He reassured of his commitment to deal decisively with those bent on causing trouble in Plateau State and environs.
