Troops of Sector 4, Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP), in conjunction with Operation Keystone and Operation Rainbow, have intensified security operations across Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State to forestall further violence and maintain public order.

Security sources disclosed that the troops were conducting coordinated show-of-force patrols and dominating strategic flashpoints across the area between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on May 10, 2026.

The operation, according to the sources, is aimed at maintaining vigilance, reassuring residents and denying criminal elements freedom of action amid recent security tensions within parts of Barkin Ladi and adjoining communities.

The authorities said the general security situation within the area of responsibility remained calm but fluid, while offensive operations and surveillance activities were being sustained to prevent any breakdown of law and order.

The troops were also said to have maintained aggressive patrols and monitoring operations across vulnerable communities as part of ongoing efforts to stabilise the area.

Security officials added that troops’ morale and operational readiness remained high as security agencies continued coordinated efforts to contain threats and restore normalcy across affected communities in Plateau State.
