The Special Military Task Force of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) on Thursday dismissed the report of the arrest of its sector Commander in Bokkos Local Government Area (LGA) of Plateau in connection with the recent attacks in the area.
The OPSH is a special military task force saddled with the responsibility of maintaining peace in Plateau and parts of Kaduna and Bauchi states.
This is contained in a statement issued by Capt. James Oya, the Media Officer of the OPSH in Jos.
Oya described the report as false, misleading and aimed at discrediting the efforts of the military and other security agencies in tackling the security challenges currently confronting the state.
”The report is not only baseless but a deliberate attempt to malign the reputation of our gallant troops and undermine the efforts of OPSH, intended to bring those responsible for the reprehensible acts to justice.
”OPSH, a multi-agency security initiative, has been steadfastly addressing the recurring security challenges in Plateau and environs.
”The dedication and commitment of our troops remain unwavering in ensuring the safety and security of the affected communities.
”We urge the public, individuals, groups, and all stakeholders to support our troops by providing actionable information that will aid in the ongoing efforts to restore peace and security to the region.
”We also urge the public to disregard the misleading and false information being circulated, as it is designed to serve the selfish interests of its purveyors,”Oya said.
The media officer advised Plateau residents to desist from spreading inaccurate and misleading stories, particularly those that concern national security.
”National security is a collective responsibility, and the efforts of all well-meaning citizens are crucial in enhancing our nation’s security,”he added.
Oya said that the OPSH and other security agencies remain resolute and committed toward ensuring the security of lives and property in the state.
