The Special Task Force, Operation Safe Haven, maintaining peace in Plateau and parts of Kaduna State and Bauchi State, says it has trained 98 youths on intelligence gathering and surveillance in southern Kaduna.
The Media Officer of the task force, Major Ishaku Takwa, said this in statement in Jos.
According to Takwa, the gesture aimed at addressing the incessant activities of bandits and other insecurity in the southern parts of the state.
The media officer said that the youths were selected from various communities and across ethnic and religious groups in the area.
He said, the Commander of the task force, Major General Ibrahim Ali, charged the beneficiaries to put the knowledge gained into good use.
Takwa said Ali warned them to desist from thuggery and focus on the assignment given them.
He said that the commander called on residents of the communities to cooperate and support the beneficiaries toward ensuring a crime free society.
