Samson Olaseigbe who were on a clearance patrol in the area cleared Gulwa village with little or no resistance from the terrorists and proceeded to Musiri district where they exchanged in heavy gun battle with another set of terrorists which lasted for an hour.

By the time the crossfire died down, over many of the terrorists lay dead and their battered and mangled bodies littered the whole area of operation. The advancing troops dominated the general area and mopped up sophisticated weapons including SEX ENHANCEMENT DRUGS amongst other things.
