Troops of 3 Division/Operation SAFE HAVEN in the early hours of 23 May 25 conducted intelligence based raid operation at a bandit hideout at Teng Village in Qua’an Pan Local Government Area of Plateau State.
During the operation, troops made contact, overwhelmed the criminals, and forced them to retreat in disarray.
In the exchange of fire, Security Watch Africa (SWA) gathered that one bandit was neutralised while traces of blood along their withdrawal routes indicated that some of the fleeing bandits sustained gunshot wounds.
Troops also exploited the hideout and recovered one AK-47 rifle, one AK-47 magazine, and 11 rounds of 7.62 mm (Special) ammunition.
The recovered arms and ammunition are in the custody of troops for further action.
Troops are also in pursuit of fleeing criminals.
