2 days agoTroops have foiled an attempted infiltration of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) in Kuru, Jos south LGA of Plateau state. Military sources told Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication, that the incident occurred at about 1:30am on Monday when troops, working alongside other security agencies guarding the institute, detected the movement of unidentified suspected criminals around the facility. “According to the sources, the security personnel responded swiftly, forcing the suspected intruders to flee into a nearby thick shrub before they could gain access to the institute,” Makama said. “The troops immediately conducted a search of the surrounding area where the suspects were last sighted, but no contact was established as the suspects had escaped. “The sources said security has since been reinforced around the facility, while surveillance and area domination patrols have been intensified to prevent any further attempt to breach the premises.” Makama added that the area remains under close monitoring as security agencies continue efforts to identify and apprehend those behind the attempted infiltration. The incident comes about two weeks after three security operatives were killed during an attack on the institute by unknown gunmen. Alfred Alabo, spokesperson for the Plateau state police command, said the attack occurred in the early hours of June 16. Reports indicated that two soldiers and a police officer were killed during the attack, although the police command did not disclose the identities of the victims. The command said security reinforcements had been deployed and patrols intensified around the area following a directive by Bassey Ewah, commissioner of police in the state.
