Troops of Operation Safe Haven have arrested five notorious gunrunners and recovered arms and ammunition in an intelligence-driven operation carried out in Plateau State.

A statement by the Military Public Information Officer, Operation Safe Haven, Major STEPHEN ZHAKOM said the feat is in pursuance of one of its core mandate of mopping up illegal arms and ammunition in the Joint Operations Area.

ZHAKOM added that the troops raided the hideout of a gunrunner identified as MOHAMMED SANI at Naraguta Mining Area in Bayameni, along Bauchi Road in Jos North Local Government Area, during which the suspected gunrunner and four others were arrested.

He said the suspects are undergoing interrogation for useful intelligence to aid in arresting other members of the syndicate as well as decimating the gun-running supply chain.
