Troops from Sector 2 of Nigeria’s Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP) kill a suspected terrorist and recover two AK-47 rifles during an operation in Zak village, Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State. The reports say the action takes place on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at about 9:50am, following intelligence.
Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria both describe the incident as occurring during a stop-and-search operation. Both outlets report that besides the two AK-47 rifles, other unspecified items are recovered. Daily Post Nigeria cites information shared on X by a counter-terrorism analyst, Zagazola Makama, while Vanguard frames the event through its own account of the operation and recovery. Neither outlet provides further details about the suspected terrorist’s identity, the exact nature of the “other items,” or whether anyone else is injured or arrested.
