The Military task force in charge of maintaining peace in Plateau State has said that its fight against bandits in the state is yielding positive results.
According to reports, the troops of the task force killed eight bandits in a clearance operation which they carried out in Wase Local Government Area on Sunday, the spokesman for Operation Safe Haven, Major Ishaku Takwa, said a situation where the bandits would chase locals and force them to vacate their communities would no longer be tolerated in any part of the state.
He noted that the activities of the bandits had caused so much havoc, particularly in the rural areas.
According to him, the clearance operation against the bandits which he said started last Saturday, would continue until the bandits are completely defeated.
Takwa solicited the support of the people to enable the military task force to achieve its objectives.
He added that they have established Field Operational Base in Wase. But also discovered that some locals are also conniving with the bandits to sabotage our efforts.
He noted that some of the bandits who have infiltrated the communities also act as informants for them and these are some of the challenges. But they are not relenting because all they need is information, and have asked the local communities to fish out the bad elements in their midst and give them timely information to protect the people.
