Military Foils Disguised Insurgents as Plateau Offensive Escalates

By Kingsley Chukwuka Late Thursday, troops apprehended two armed men clad in tactical uniforms in Jos North. They were caught setting fire to residential homes. Both suspects were wounded in the exchange and moved under guard to a military medical facility. The Dutse Uku interception highlights a trend of criminals posing as security personnel to carry out attacks. This breakthrough follows the deployment of over 850 counter-terrorism specialists to Plateau State, ordered by the Chief of Army Staff. In Wase Local Government Area, elite troops disrupted a large motorcycle-borne terrorist cell. After a heavy firefight, three attackers were neutralized while others fled into the bush. Military spokesman Captain Chinonso Oteh said these coordinated strikes signal the armed forces’ resolve to eliminate threats and clear their name from recent unrest allegations. The military urges residents to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity as the strategic offensive continues to restore lasting peace.
