The Nigerian Army recovered AK-47 rifles, other weapons, and ammunition during an operation in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State. The troops, operating under Sector 8 of Operation ENDURING PEACE as part of Operation HARD KNOCK, launched the operation following credible intelligence of a planned attack on Mwar Community in Chakfem Kingdom.
Preliminary findings suggested that the planned attack may have been linked to the reported rustling of an unconfirmed number of cattle allegedly by some youths from the community. Troops recovered one AK-47 rifle, one locally fabricated AK-47 rifle, one locally fabricated revolver rifle, two Dane guns, and 15 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition.
The Army urged members of the public to remain vigilant and provide credible information about suspicious activities to security agencies.
