Army recovers AK-47 rifles, ammunition in Plateau

The Nigerian Army has recovered AK-47 rifles, other weapons, and ammunition in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State as part of Operation HARD KNOCK. The operation was launched following credible intelligence of a planned attack on Mwar Community in Chakfem Kingdom, which was believed to be linked to the reported rustling of cattle by suspected bandit militias.

During the raid, troops found 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 is continuing offensive operations and targeted searches in the area to recover the missing cattle, locate additional arms caches, and apprehend those responsible.

They urge the public to remain vigilant and provide credible information about suspicious activities.
