Troops of Operation Enduring Peace, OPEP, have discovered the corpse of a man with machete wounds in the Torok community of Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Spokesman of the security outfit, Captain Polycarp Oteh, who confirmed this in a statement on Friday, said troops of Sector 6 of OPEP discovered the remains of the victim on the outskirts of the village following a distress report made to the Sector by residents on Thursday and proceeded to the scene for verification.

According to the OPEP spokesman, the deceased was identified as Toma Chuwang, a resident of Torok village.

“Preliminary findings indicated that the victim was allegedly attacked by yet-to-be-identified militia members while returning from an illegal mining site in the area,” Oteh said.

He disclosed that the corpse showed signs of decomposition, suggesting that the victim may have died several days before it was discovered.

“Upon arrival at the location, troops confirmed the corpse of Mr. Toma Chuwang with machete cuts on the body. The condition of the corpse indicates that it had already started decomposing,“ the statement said.

Oteh added that the remains of the victim were evacuated from the scene while security agencies have commenced an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the killing and identify those responsible.

He added that efforts were also ongoing to gather further information that could assist in unraveling the incident and bringing the perpetrators to justice.

The Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), in collaboration with local security stakeholders, has foiled a terrorist infiltration attempt and disrupted terrorist logistics and support networks across the North East.

Lieutenant Colonel Haruna M. Sani, Acting Media Information Officer (North East), said in a statement on Friday night that troops responded swiftly to the sighting of terrorists advancing towards the North East Theatre Training School, Buni Yadi, at about 9:00 a.m. on 9 June 2026. The troops neutralized two terrorists and recovered a motorcycle.

Also, troops of the 25 Brigade Garrison, in conjunction with the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), apprehended two suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP logistics suppliers, Mallam Bako Ibrahim and Abu Aji, along the Sierra 4 axis in Damboa.

Similarly, troops of the 162 Amphibious Battalion, working closely with the CJTF along the Mandaragirau–Sabon Gari Road, arrested another suspected logistics supplier, Musa Idi. Investigations revealed that the suspects were involved in providing logistics support to terrorists operating within Damboa Local Government Area.

Items recovered from the suspects included 19 wristwatches, one large mat, one transistor radio, two cartons of agro-allied chemicals, and other materials intended for terrorist use. The suspects and the recovered items are currently in custody for further investigation and necessary action.

In a related development, combined troops of Sector 2, in collaboration with the CJTF, arrested a 23-year-old suspect, Adams Shittima, in Damboa town at about 5:58 a.m. on 9 June 2026. The suspect was intercepted while attempting to procure farm implements and mosquito nets for terrorist elements.

During preliminary interrogation, he confessed to providing both logistics support and information to terrorists operating within Damboa Local Government Area, further exposing the network of collaborators sustaining insurgent activities in the area.

The military high command commended the troops for their professionalism, vigilance, resilience, and unwavering commitment in the ongoing fight against terrorism and criminality.
