Troops under Operation Safe Haven have arrested two suspected terrorists and recovered arms and ammunition in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The suspects were apprehended at about 4:21 p.m. on Wednesday by Sector 4 troops of Operation Peace Enforcement (OPEP) at Gashish, along Kafu Abu Road, following credible intelligence.

Security sources said the troops acted swiftly to intercept the suspects, leading to their arrest.

A subsequent search of the suspects’ residence in Kadok village led to the recovery of two dane guns, one locally fabricated pistol, two rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, and one live cartridge.

The suspects are currently in custody, while the recovered weapons and ammunition have been secured for further investigation.

Security authorities reaffirmed their commitment to sustaining operations aimed at curbing criminal activities and restoring lasting peace across Plateau State and its environs.
