Troops of the 3 Division, operating under Operation SAFE HAVEN, successfully neutralized two suspected armed bandits during a raid on a criminal hideout in Qua’an Pan Local Government Area of Plateau State on Monday. The operation, targeting a suspected enclave near Teng Mountain/Forest, followed actionable intelligence.
Engaging the criminals in a gunfight, troops successfully overpowered them, resulting in the death of two suspects. Recovered items included one AK-47 rifle, a locally fabricated rifle, ammunition, mobile phones, motorcycles, and N157,900 in cash suspected to be proceeds from illicit activities.
Recovered weapons are now in military custody, and the mobile phones are undergoing forensic analysis. Operation SAFE HAVEN reaffirmed its commitment to sustained offensive operations against banditry, aiming to restore lasting peace within the Joint Operations Area.
