According to the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, the raid followed credible intelligence indicating that a notorious bandit leader, known as Idrisa or “Mai Duna,” was planning coordinated attacks on villages near the Byazhin forest area.

Tactical police teams launched an ambush along suspected routes, leading to a gun battle with the bandits. The attackers were overpowered and fled into the forest with injuries. Reinforcements from police and military units quickly secured the area and blocked escape routes.

Adeh added that the Commissioner of Police commended the operatives for their swift response, which prevented a major security breach. He also urged medical facilities to report anyone with gunshot wounds.
