The military, known for their active presence in Plateau State under OPEP, moved swiftly upon receiving intelligence of the attack, deploying troops to comb the area in search of the kidnapped victim.
Plateau State’s Ongoing Security Battle

Families in affected areas are calling on the government — both at the state and federal levels — to do more to protect lives and property. As one local might put it, “E don do” — enough is enough.
