In its effort to reduce attacks on villages, protect lives and property, as well as strengthen community-based security across Plateau State, Governor Caleb Mutfwang on Monday graduated over 350 retrained operatives of Operation Rainbow, charging them to complement the efforts of conventional security agencies.
Speaking at the passing-out parade at the Zaria Road Stadium, Jos, on Monday November 9, 2026, Governor Mutfwang urged the operatives to uphold professionalism, discipline, impartiality and integrity in the discharge of their duties.
He cautioned them against allowing personal interests, ethnic or religious sentiments to influence their judgement, stressing that the fight against criminality must be pursued without bias or favour. He also commissioned operational vehicles and motorcycles to boost their mobility across the local government areas.
On his part, the State Coordinator of Operation Rainbow, Brig. Gen. Nash Yakubu (Rtd.), said the outfit now has about 3,000 operatives deployed across communities in the state, working on neighbourhood surveillance, intelligence gathering, early warning and crime prevention.
He said Operation Rainbow works in collaboration with Operation Enduring Peace, the DSS, NSCDC, Immigration and vigilante groups, and operates the Plateau State Special Activity Centre (PSAC) with drones and monitoring systems for real-time surveillance.
He added that 11 operational camps have been established so far, with over 25 gun trucks to support operations.
