An internal military task force in Plateau State, Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), has refuted allegations that it has a hand in the death of two young men in the Riyom Local Government Area of the state.
Locals had accused personnel of the military unit of complicity after two youths, Jerry Bitrus, 28, and Joseph Davou, 32, were reportedly killed last Sunday by gunmen in the area.
But the military outfit has maintained that it has no hand in the death of the youths.
Authorities of Operation Safe Haven explained that its personnel who were on patrol on the said date were only drafted to the area after a distress call was made to the unit.
