Troops from Operation ENDURING PEACE killed two terrorists in an ambush on Tuesday, 21 April 2026, in the Marit general area of Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, Plateau State. The operation occurred at approximately 7:49pm near Doruwa Babuje, according to a statement by Captain Chinonso Oteh, Media Information Officer of the Joint Task Force Operation ENDURING PEACE. The military did not disclose the identities of the terrorists or provide details on weapons recovered. No casualties were reported from the military side. The Joint Task Force described the action as part of ongoing efforts to restore peace in the region. Further details about the circumstances leading to the ambush were not released.
Captain Chinonso Oteh claims a precise strike at 7:49pm near Doruwa Babuje, yet offers no proof the dead were terrorists or why they were in Marit. The people of Barkin Ladi have heard such claims before, often followed by renewed attacks. If the operation was so successful, why no evidence or follow-up on how this prevents the next ambush? Silence on the identities and motives only deepens public doubt.
