The recovered ammunition
Troops of the Nigerian Army have recovered AK-47 rifles, other weapons and ammunition during an operation in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The troops, operating under Sector 8 of Operation ENDURING PEACE as part of Operation HARD KNOCK, launched the operation following credible intelligence of a planned attack on Mwar Community in Chakfem Kingdom.
The intelligence received on August 19, 2026, indicated an imminent threat by suspected bandit militias.
The Army said preliminary findings suggested that the planned attack may have been linked to the reported rustling of an unconfirmed number of cattle allegedly by some youths from the community.
