ARMY RECOVERS HIDDEN RIFLE AND AMMUNITION IN PLATEAU FOREST.

Troops of the 3 Division and Operation SAFE HAVEN have made recovered hidden arms in Pandam Forest, Qua’an Pan Local Government Area of Plateau State. 

The recovery was reportedly made on Tuesday around 1:20pm, following credible intelligence that bandits had buried weapons in the forest while fleeing from Operation LAFIYAN JAMA’A troops.

The recovered items include one AK-47 rifle, one magazine, and 30 rounds of 7.62mm (Special) ammunition, all carefully concealed by the bandits. 

During the operation, the troops discovered a freshly dug area, which was immediately excavated, leading to the recovery of the arms and ammunition.

The Nigerian Army, which has taken custody of the recovered items, says it is conducting further investigations, reaffirming the military's continued efforts to rid the region of bandits and their arsenal.
