Troops from Sector 2 of Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP) have arrested a suspected terrorist identified as Abubakar Ango in Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State. This operation took place on the morning of November 4, 2026, around 8:00 a.m. in Kukawa village during a routine stop-and-search.
During the search, security personnel reportedly discovered an AK-47 magazine, one round of 7.62mm special ammunition, two mobile phones, cash amounting to ₦30,000, and quantities of substances believed to be marijuana and other illicit drugs. Preliminary investigation indicated that Ango is allegedly part of a terrorist syndicate purportedly led by an individual known only as Kaura.
The suspect is currently in military custody, where he is being interrogated further to determine his connections to the syndicate and to identify potential accomplices. This arrest is part of ongoing efforts by troops to dismantle terrorist and criminal networks in the region, aimed at enhancing security across Plateau State.
