- Operation SAFE HAVEN recovers AK-47 Rifle, Magazine in successful raid
Troops of 3 Division/Operation SAFE HAVEN have achieved a significant breakthrough with the arrest of two notorious kidnappers, Bashir Mohammed and Ismail Mohammad, during a raid at Katume High Grounds in Bassa Local Government Area (LGA), Plateau State.
The operation, conducted on March 15, 2025, under Operation LAFIYAN JAMA’A, was based on credible intelligence that the area was being used by kidnappers to hide victims while negotiating for ransom.
During the raid, troops recovered one AK-47 rifle and one AK-47 magazine from the suspects. The arrested kidnappers are currently in custody and have made useful confessions expected to aid follow-up operations to apprehend their accomplices and recover additional weapons.
This success highlights the ongoing efforts of Operation SAFE HAVEN to combat insecurity and restore peace in the region.
