Military uncovers plot to establish ISWAP bases in Plateau, Bauchi
In a related operation, troops of Sector 4 OPSH stormed the hideout of a wanted criminal in Mazat village, the Barkin Ladi LGA.
Although the suspect escaped before their arrival, the soldiers recovered an AK-47 rifle, a magazine, and other items buried in the building.
Separately, troops from Sector 2, acting on credible intelligence,e laid an ambush for bandits along the Pinau-Bangalala road in Wase LGA, where one bandit was neutralised and others fled with injuries.
Meanwhile, tragedy struck the Zogu community in Miango District of Bassa LGA after terrorists reportedly killed a man and his two sons in an early morning attack on Saturday.
The victims were identified by the Irigwe Development Association as 56-year-old Weyi Gebeh and his sons, Zhu (25) and Henry (16).
Jugo said, “The way criminal elements invade our motherland and kill with impunity seems to suggest a more sinister motive than mere reprisal for alleged wrongs.
“IDA therefore calls on the Plateau State government and the security to do the needful and stop the killing of innocent people in Irigwe land.”
