Military Pursues Suspected Herders Over Plateau Cabbage Farm Damage

Troops under Operation Enduring Peace (OPEP) have verified that a significant section of a cabbage farm was destroyed by individuals suspected to be herders in Rakum village, Ropp District, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, Plateau State. According to security sources who spoke with Zagazola Makama, the matter was reported at roughly 9:45 a.m. on October 10, 2026, leading personnel from OPEP Sector 4 to move to the location. Upon reaching the site, the troops established that the assailants had chopped down a substantial part of the cabbage farm with a cutlass and then fled. The suspects had already left before the soldiers got there. Operations to locate and capture those responsible for suitable action are still underway. The development contributes to worries about damage to agricultural crops and the effects of criminal conduct on farmers' means of living in the area, a security analyst added.
