ABUJA — Troops of the Nigerian Army operating under Sector 8, Operation Enduring Peace, have foiled an alleged planned attack on Mwar community in Chakfem Kingdom, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, following intelligence on a suspected threat by bandit militias.
The operation, conducted on August 19, was launched after the military received credible human intelligence indicating an imminent attack on the community.
According to a statement by the Army, preliminary findings suggested that the planned attack might have been connected to the reported rustling of an unspecified number of cattle allegedly involving some youths from the community.
The troops consequently deployed for a fighting patrol and raid of suspected locations, with the aim of recovering the cattle and apprehending those allegedly responsible.
