A socio-political organisation, Global Peace and Life Rescue
Initiative, on Thursday ended its assessment of the security situation in
Plateau State, saying Operation Safe Haven has done very well.
The OPSH, a military
outfit with its Headquarters in Jos, was deployed by the Federal Government to
restore peace and order in Plateau, Kaduna and Bauchi states.
Speaking
with journalists in Jos, Executive Director of
GOPRI, Prof. Melvin Ejeh, said the OPSH led by its Commander, Major
General Nicholas Rogers, has done well because of his proactive and
civil friendly strategies adopted since he assumed
office to restore law, peace and order.
The strategies, according to him, "led to the total
restoration of confidence among members of the public and officers and men of
the Special Task Force in Plateau state and Southern Kaduna."
Ejeh said, "After our assessment tour of the 17 Local
Government Areas in Plateau State and Southern Kaduna, we have realised that
crime has reduced and people can move freely unchallenged by criminals and
hoodlums.
"We in GOPRI are happy with the level of peace and
security that has been achieved so far courtesy of the communities. We are in
tune with the unique peace building approach adopted by the Commander of
Operation Safe Haven and his men; this is one of its kind."
Ejeh further stated that the recent raid on criminals’ hide-out
around Plateau state and its environs was a testimony of the cordial working
relationship between the communities and officers of OPSH.
He said some community leaders have informed the GOPRI team
that they now have a more friendly relationship with the security agencies.
