The Minister acknowledged the significant progress made in the fight against insecurity, citing the retrieval of numerous weapons, ammunition, and dismantling of local arms-producing factories.

He advised the officers and men to intensify their efforts until insecurity is eradicated.

"Are you ready to end insecurity in Plateau? Your dedication is crucial. I will inform the President of your commitment," he said.

On his part, the Executive Governor of Plateau state Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, represented by his Special Adviser on Security and Homeland Safety, Brig.-Gen.
