The operations resulted in the arrest of a gun runner, foiling of a kidnap attempt, and extermination of a terrorist.

In Taraba State, troops, in collaboration with vigilantes, acted on actionable intelligence to apprehend one Mansir Mohammed at Jalingo Motor Park, who has been reportedly involved in gun-running activities with terrorists.
