In a recent security operation in Plateau State, troops from Operation Safe Peace detained two individuals and seized ammunition. The arrests occurred during a routine stop-and-search exercise conducted by Sector 6 personnel in the Zawan area of Jos South Local Government Area.
The operation, which took place around 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday, targeted a commercial vehicle. Security analyst Zagazola Makama disclosed this information via X on Wednesday.
The suspects, identified as Patience John, 28, and Shamsu Ibrahim, 29, were found in possession of two rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition concealed in a bag. Additionally, a rubber item suspected to be related to drug use was recovered.
Following the discovery, the individuals were promptly taken into custody for further investigation. Authorities are currently probing the source of the ammunition and any potential links to broader criminal networks.
Officials stated that subsequent actions will be determined by the findings of the ongoing inquiry.
