Christopher Musa, chief of defence staff (CDS), says the military is reassessing its operational strategies to tackle rising insecurity in Plateau and other areas covered by Operation Safe Haven.
Tukur Gusau, defence director of information, said Musa
spoke on Friday during a visit to the operation’s headquarters in Jos, the
Plateau capital.
The CDS said the military is adapting its tactics to match
the asymmetric nature of the conflict in the region, while also calling on
local leaders to discourage youths from shielding criminal elements in their
communities.
“We must take decisive actions to halt the cycle of violence
affecting Plateau and neighbouring states,” the statement reads.
He added that military commanders would be held accountable
for negligence and promised improved logistical support for troops.
Eyitayo Oyinlola, commander of Operation Safe Haven and
general officer commanding 3 Division of the Nigerian Army, highlighted the
operation’s recent gains and efforts to strengthen inter-agency collaboration.
He said the command is building a robust intelligence
network to better protect vulnerable communities and will sustain ongoing peace
efforts.
The CDS also visited the Nigerian Army Medical Centre in
Tigi and Sector 6 in Jebbu Bindi, Riyom LGA, where he pledged support to
improve medical services for frontline soldiers and residents.
Musa’s visit comes in the wake of a recent attack near
Chirang village in Bokkos LGA, where suspected bandits killed 14 people.
