Troops from Sector 8, part of Operation ENDURING PEACE, prevented an attack on the Manja community in Plateau State's Mangu Local Government Area, according to a security analyst's statement shared on X on Sunday. The incident unfolded after troops received intelligence about armed men potentially planning an assault on the community.
The troops swiftly mobilized to the area and, through their swift action, compelled the suspected assailants to flee into the surrounding bushes along with their livestock. At approximately 4:12 p.m., additional reports emerged of an attempted infiltration of Manja village. In response, security forces initiated a pursuit operation while preserving a robust security perimeter around the community.
Troops also executed offensive patrols and clearance operations throughout the region to deter further incursions into the area. Current reports suggest that military operations are ongoing in and around Manja and its neighboring communities, aiming to maintain pressure on the suspected attackers and ensure the safety of residents.
