Troops from Sector 8, operating under Operation ENDURING PEACE, prevented a potential attack on the Manja community in Plateau State's Mangu Local Government Area.

According to Makama, the troops swiftly approached the area, forcing the attackers to flee into the surrounding forests with their livestock. Later, at around 4:12 p.m., another report reached the troops about an attempt to infiltrate the Manja village. In response, the soldiers initiated a pursuit operation, keeping a firm security presence around the community.
Troops also conducted extensive patrols and clearance operations throughout the region to deter any further attempts to enter the area. Security forces are continuing their operations around Manja and nearby communities to maintain pressure on the suspected attackers and ensure the safety of the residents.
