The Nigerian Army has moved the Operation Safe Haven headquarters from Jos to Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The move follows renewed killings and attacks in several communities.
The military says the decision will improve its response to security threats. It will also bring senior commanders closer to affected communities.
The Commander of Operation Safe Haven and General Officer Commanding 3 Division, Major General Williams Dangana, announced the relocation.
Dangana said the move would help the military understand the security situation in Mangu.
He also said it would improve the speed of military operations in the area.
The commander spoke to journalists during a visit to communities affected by recent attacks.
He said the military would maintain a strong presence in Mangu and nearby communities.
The military has also deployed more troops and equipment to the area.
Dangana said the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, approved the additional resources.
The new deployment will support ongoing operations against armed groups.
The military has also launched Operation Hard Nut in Mangu and surrounding areas.
The operation aims to identify and remove armed groups operating in the communities.
Dangana urged residents to support the security forces with useful information.
He also assured residents that troops would continue to protect lives and property.
The relocation comes after renewed violence in Mangu.
Recent attacks have killed several residents and forced some communities to seek safety elsewhere.
The latest violence has increased concerns over the security situation in Plateau State.
The military hopes the new location will allow troops to respond faster to attacks.
It will also help commanders coordinate security operations more effectively.
The Operation Safe Haven headquarters will now operate closer to communities facing security challenges.
The move could improve intelligence gathering and cooperation between security agencies.
It could also help troops reach affected areas faster during emergencies.
Dangana said the military would continue its operations until it restores peace in the affected communities.
Residents have welcomed the increased military presence while calling for lasting solutions to the violence.
The military’s priority remains the protection of lives and property across Mangu and other affected parts of Plateau State.
