On Wednesday, the Defence Headquarters asserted that Operation Safe Haven troops had purportedly cleared the lairs of suspected bandits and kidnappers in the Plateau and Kaduna States.

According to a statement released on Wednesday in Abuja by Major-Gen. Bernard Onyeuko, Director of Defence Media Operations, some bandits and kidnappers were killed during separate clearance operations carried out in the two states.

He went on to say that the operations were carried out on Tuesday in collaboration with local vigilante groups.

Among the items recovered during the operations were two AK47 rifles, 101 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, five magazines, one motorcycle, one iron digger, and two black jackets.
