Troops of Sector 2, Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP), neutralised a suspected terrorist and recovered four motorcycles during an encounter along Wanka village road in Kanam Local Government Area of Plateau State.
According to an operational report released by the Nigerian Army on Tuesday in Abuja, troops manning a blocking position intercepted an unspecified number of suspected terrorists traveling on motorcycles on Monday.
The military engaged the suspects with superior firepower, forcing the remaining members of the group to flee into the surrounding area.
In addition to the four abandoned Honda motorcycles, troops recovered two mobile phones, a packet of cigarettes, and seven tablets of Tramadol, which have been taken into military custody for further investigation.
The operation forms part of sustained efforts by the armed forces to restrict the movement of criminal elements and bolster security across Plateau State.
