The terrorists engaged the troops in a fire fight but had to flee as a result of superior fire power from the troops. Consequently, troops cordoned and searched the village and recovered the following:
a. 6 x AK 47 Rifles
b. 66 x 7.62 MM ammunition
No soldier was killed, wounded or missing in action. Unfortunately, a hunter was wounded, is receiving treatment at the 22 Brigade medical Centre in Dikwa, he has been stabilized and is fast recovering.
Many terrorists reportedly met their waterloo during the encounter, while others escaped with various degrees of injuries.
