Troops of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) have successfully foiled a kidnapping attempt and rescued three victims along the Barkin Ladi-Mangu road in Mairana village, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.


The operation was carried out on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, following intelligence on the abduction.

This was contained in a statement issued by security analyst Zagazola Makama on his official X handle.


According to the statement, the victims were kidnapped at approximately 7:45 a.m. on February 11.

In response, troops from Sector 8 of Operation Golden Peace swiftly mobilized to the scene and discovered a red Ford Space Bus parked along the roadside.

“The troops immediately launched a search operation in the surrounding bushes, leading to the successful rescue of the three victims unharmed,” Makama stated.


“The kidnappers, upon sighting the advancing security personnel, abandoned the victims and fled.”

He further noted that the rescued victims were reunited with their vehicle and continued their journey safely.
