Troops of the Nigerian Army have arrested a suspected gunrunner and recovered an AK-47 rifle and other items in Plateau State, while a separate operation in Edo State led to the rescue of a kidnapped victim.
The Army said, “In Plateau State, troops of Operation Endurance Peace, in collaboration with vigilantes and local hunters, conducted an intelligence-led raid on Kisayi and Dogon Daji settlements in Bassa Local Government Area.
“The operation followed the abduction of Dr Abraham Owoicho on 19 August 2026.
“During the operation, some occupants fled into the surrounding bush on sighting the troops.
