We cannot watch bandits take over the State: we are continuing our raid to rid them off Plateau: we must live in peace, even as we approach the yuletide season, says the Commander, Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), Maj. Gen. Chukwuemeka Okonkwo.
Speaking in Jos on Friday at the headquarters of the OPSH, Okonkwo said 33 suspects were arrested for different offences ranging from armed robbery to kidnapping, cultism and their sponsors.
Parading the suspects, the General said they were picked from different parts of Jos, saying that the raid is in continuation of the task force determination to rid the State of hoodlums.
“On the 26th of November 2020 troops engaged a gang of armed robbers within Jos South Local Government Area.
One of the robbers was neutralized while others fled with gunshot wounds.
