Troops from Sector 3 of Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP) have apprehended another individual linked to the unlawful sale and distribution of military camouflage materials in Plateau State.
The suspect, identified as Mr. Hamisu Pam, aged 45, was taken into custody around 3:30 p.m. on May 11, 2026, at his shop located in Taminus Market, Jos North Local Government Area.
This arrest follows ongoing investigations connected to earlier suspects who were detained for allegedly circulating military-pattern uniforms within the state.
During the operation, troops reportedly recovered several yards of camouflage fabric from the suspect’s shop, believed to be part of the items under investigation.
Authorities have stated that the suspect is linked to previously arrested individuals who are currently in custody on similar charges.
The military added that all suspects are undergoing further interrogation as part of efforts to dismantle networks involved in the illegal trade of military materials, which is considered a threat to security operations and public safety.
Operation Enduring Peace reiterated its commitment to tightening controls on the circulation of restricted military items and enhancing intelligence-led operations across Plateau State.
Security agencies have also urged members of the public to report suspicious activities, particularly the unauthorized sale or possession of military-grade materials.
