Military Task Force Bans Use Of Tricycle In Jos, Environs At Night
The Special Task Force responsible for the maintenance of peace in Plateau State, Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), has banned the use of tricycle after 9pm within Jos/environs, and has charged citizens of the state to remain at alert and look out for strange faces among them.
This was disclosed by the Commander of OPSH, Major General Rogers Nicholas while briefing journalists at the OPSH’s headquarters in Jos.
Nicholas said the call became necessary to avoid the fleeing members of Boko Haram from settling among them, as the fleeing insurgents still poses serious security risk to the peace of the state.
“I have established a monthly media briefing to keep Plateau citizens a breast of issues regarding peace and security in the state under my command.
“I want to use the opportunity to let Plateau citizens know that they need to be on alert and be very vigilant of their environment because there are fillers that members of Boko Haram who have been displaced from the North-East might make Plateau State their safe haven to hide.
“With such information, residents needs to be very vigilant at all time and report to security agencies as soon as they notice any strange fellow around them.
“There is also need for residents to tighten their cooperation with security agencies and learn to report promptly.
