Operation Safe Haven deployed to restore Law and Order in Plateau state has said it killed five assailants while repelling a new attack on a small village near Ancha in Bassa local government area of the state (i.e., a village where about 20 persons were killed Friday morning).

ViewPointNigeria’s correspondent reports that a soldier with the taskforce was also killed in the fire exchange while another was shot in the leg and is presently responding to treatment at the OPSH clinic.

OPSH Media and Information Officer, Captain Adam Umar yesterday said, “apart from the five that were killed by our men some were injured. But the thing with these assailants is that they don’t leave their dead, they run with them.”

Captain Umar said, “we also lost one of our men and another was injured and is responding to treatment,” adding that the Miango area is still dominated by men of the taskforce who have since commenced day and night patrol and are combing the area in search of the assailants.
