According to a statement released on Wednesday in Abuja by Major-Gen. Bernard Onyeuko, Director of Defence Media Operations, some bandits and kidnappers were slain during separate clearance operations carried out in the two states.

He continued by saying that on Tuesday, the operations were conducted in coordination with neighbourhood vigilante organisations.

Among the items found during the operations are two AK-47 weapons, 101 7.62mm special ammunition, five magazines, a motorcycle, an iron digger, and two black coats.

The following was stated in the statement: “On June 28, 2022, based on reliable intelligence, troops of Operation Safe Haven conducted clearance operations in collaboration with vigilantes at Kan Duniya Village, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State and neutralised notorious bandits and kidnappers.
