Troops of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), a security task force maintaining peace in Plateau and some parts of Bauchi and Kaduna states, have arrested three suspected gunrunners in Golgkofa village of Jama’a LGA of Kaduna State.
The spokesman of the OPSH, Major Samson Zhakom, said the operation followed an intelligence-based report from the area.
Explaining how the operation was carried out, he said, “During the operation, troops arrested three notorious gunrunners identified as Adamu Musa, 65, Lukman Isah, 35, and Umar Jammo, 25.
“Troops recovered one AK-47 rifle, one fabricated gun, one AK-47 magazine, one round of 7.62 mm (Special) ammunition and three motorcycles.’
“The arrested suspects are in custody, making useful confessions to aid troops to conduct follow-up operations to arrest other members of the criminal syndicate and recover their arms and ammunition,’’ he added.
He said OPSH would continue to leverage the support of the general public and actionable information provided to track down criminals in the pursuit of a safe environment.
