Troops kill armed robber, recover pistol in Jos

Troops of Operation SAFE HAVEN have killed an armed robber while on night patrol after coming in contact with suspected armed robbers along Angul Maraban Jama’a road in Barkin Ladi, Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The troops recovered one locally fabricated pistol while others escaped with gunshot wounds the Defence Headquarters said in a statement on Saturday.

The Coordinator Defence Media Operations Major General John Enenche said troops have continued to dominate the general area with aggressive patrols to deny bandits freedom of action.

He called on the general public to continue to provide credible information to the troops operating within their localities.
