Troops of Operation Enduring Peace have foiled an attempted intrusion into the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) in Kuru, Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State.
Zagazola Makama reported that the incident occurred at about 1:30 a.m. on Monday, when troops of Sector 6, working with other security personnel stationed at the institute, detected the movement of suspected intruders around the facility.

Authorities said efforts are ongoing to identify and arrest those responsible, while the area remains under close security monitoring.
