Troops of Operation Safe Haven have arrested 20 suspects in connection with the killings in Tingbwa Gidan Ado community, Riyom Local Government Area (LGA) of Plateau State.

Maj. Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar, the Commander of OPSH, disclosed this at the Christmas luncheon organised for troops of OPSH and 3 Division of the Nigerian Army on Thursday in Jos.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that gunmen attacked the community on December 22, killing 15 persons.

Abubakar, who also serves as the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 3 Division, stated that troops recovered a significant cache of arms and ammunition.

“Following hours of sustained night operations, we have apprehended 20 suspects directly and indirectly involved in the last attack on Tingbwa Gidan Ado village in Riyom LGA on December 22.

“We have also recovered a cache of arms and ammunition, which has greatly starved criminal elements of the freedom of action to carry out their nefarious activities.

“Let the spirit of Christmas renew our commitment to the values we hold dear; let it inspire us to serve with even greater passion and determination,” he said.

“On this special day, I acknowledge and applaud the sacrifices you have made; many of you are far away from home, unable to celebrate Christmas and the Yuletide season with family and loved ones.

“While others enjoy the warmth of family and comfort of home, you endure the realities of duty.

“Your courage and resilience will never go unnoticed, as they embody the highest form of sacrifice.

“However, I charge you all to remain disciplined, loyal, vigilant, and professional in your conduct this season and always,” he urged.

Abubakar extended gratitude to Gen. Christopher Musa, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), and Lt.-Gen. Olufumi Oloyede, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), for their leadership and strategic guidance, which he credited for the troops’ operational successes using both kinetic and non-kinetic measures.

This present Plateau state governor is no nonsense man. This is the first time we're hearing of swift arrest of miscreants Fulani attackers on the Plateau.

NO Fulani/ Hausa will take over Plateau state, not in our life time and till eternity.

Plateau state is the capital of the middle belt republic. Peaceful, adorned with beautiful mind blowing nature's gift of rocks, climate and topography not found any where in Africa.

We will prevail and continue to prevail.
