 TROOPS OF JOINT TASK FORCE OPERATION ENDURING PEACE NEUTRALIZES THREATS IN JOS NORTH AND  WASE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS AS NEW COUNTER-TERRORISM DEPLOYMENT YIELDS IMMEDIATE RESULTS


In a significant breakthrough ​aimed at restoring the desired peace in Plateau State, troops of Joint Task Force, Operation ENDURING PEACE achieved remarkable success in the late hours of Thursday during a targeted operation at Dutse Uku in Jos North Local Government Area.


At approximately 11:45 pm, vigilant troops responding to a distress call on sporadic shooting at Dutse Uku general area intercepted and apprehended 2 individuals masquerading as security operatives. These impostors, dressed in tactical black uniforms, were caught actively participating in the arson of residential properties and the orchestration of violence within the Community. Those arrested are currently in custody while 2 persons who sustained gun shot wound were moved by troops to a medical facility for attention and they are in a stable condition. This pivotal arrest serves as a direct rebuttal to recent allegations suggesting military complicity in the Jos North unrest, effectively proving that the atrocities previously attributed to official personnel are being committed by criminal elements using deceptive attire to sow discord and defame the Armed Forces.


​The momentum of this success extended into Karem in Wase Local Government Area, where high-alert troops successfully disrupted a large-scale movement of terrorists traveling via motorcycles. Upon being engaged by the military, the insurgents fled under the pressure of sustained combat. In the engagement, 3 of the terrorists were successfully neutralized. This surge in operational efficiency follows the strategic deployment of a battalion plus specialized counter-terrorism troops, an initiative ordered by the Chief of Army Staff on Thursday morning.


The immediate impact of these additional boots on the ground has acted as a decisive game-changer, bolstering the State's security architecture and restoring proactive control over volatile zones. In the light of these developments, all  hoodlums, insurgents, and criminal syndicates currently operating within the State will be ruthlessly dealt with, as the military remains resolute in its mission to eliminate all threats to public peace. 


The general public is kindly requested to maintain a high level of situational awareness and support the ongoing efforts by reporting any suspicious individuals or activities to the nearest authorities. Through continued cooperation and the current strategic offensive, the military remains committed to ensuring the permanent restoration of safety and order for all citizens.
