The Special Military Taskforce, code-named “Operation Safe Haven, OPSH”, has said, about 72 suspects, including two women, have been arrested by the military in connection with the recent violence in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
The Commander of OPSH, Maj. Gen. Augustine Agundu, while parading 27 of those suspects, in Jos on Wednesday evening, stated that although 72 persons were arrested, 30 had confessed to their crimes.
While condemning what he described as the conspiracy of silence among the elders and elite going on in the state, he warned that the military would no longer tolerate any further attempt to attack the troops.
“But they (elders and elite) keep quiet. If they want to stop this act of violence and criminality, they can do so within a twinkle of an eye,” Agundu stated.
The military unit also debunked what it described as “media hype” about fake soldiers in Jos, saying, “there is no fake soldier going from door to door. The dexterity exhibited by soldiers was what marvelled the criminals.”
“Yes, there are some criminals in black attire perpetrating violence that had been arrested as you can see them here, but they are not soldiers,” the OPSH stated.
