Troops of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) successfully neutralised the syndicate of six criminals that specialises in kidnapping innocent people in the Mangu local government area of Plateau State, on Monday 23, August 2021.
The troops also recovered weapons belonging to the Nigerian Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT) from the bandits.
The troops in a joint operation with the Divisional Police Headquarters at Mangu responded swiftly to a distress call from the IRT that bandits had attacked the team and took away their weapons. The criminals were immediately trailed and neutralised after a gun duel with the troops.
Remains of the IRT members who lost their lives and that of the six criminal gangs were recovered. The troops also recovered three AK 47 rifles belonging to the IRT team earlier taken away by the criminals.
Commending the troops for their swift response, the Commander Operation Safe Haven Major General Ibrahim Ali has charged the troops to continue the collaborative efforts and sustain the tempo until criminal elements are wiped out of Plateau State. He further directed the troops to dominate all suspected criminal hideouts and deny them freedom of action.
General Ali also called on citizens to continue to collaborate with troops of Operation Safe Haven and always provide the operation with credible security information.
