As reported on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, the Nigerian Army disclosed that the eight personnel, stationed at OPSH Sector 4, successfully intercepted 30 rustled cows at the Bisichi checkpoint in Barkin Ladi local government area of Plateau State.

The statement revealed that the rustled cattle, owned by Shehu Umar and stolen in Mangu, were being transported to an undisclosed location when the OPSH troops, conducting a stop-and-search operation, intervened. Anas Usman (20 years) and Gyang Cholly (42 years), the occupants of the vehicle transporting the stolen cattle, attempted to bribe the troops for a security pass. However, the troops rejected the 1.5 million Naira bribe, leading to the immediate arrest of the suspects and the confiscation of the offered money.

Major General Abubakar, the commander of Operation SAFE HAVEN, commended the exemplary conduct of the personnel during a ceremony where cash rewards were presented to them. He urged other security personnel to consistently demonstrate good conduct and courage in the execution of their duties.

Represented by Brigadier General MO Agi, the Chief of Staff at OPSH, Major General Abubakar encouraged all security personnel to emulate the outstanding behavior exhibited by the eight personnel. The reward ceremony highlighted the commitment of OPSH to uphold integrity and resist corruption in the pursuit of maintaining peace and security in Plateau State.
