They opened fire on two commercial vehicles, creating chaos in an attempt to abduct their occupants.

The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Jibia, leading a team of operatives, responded swiftly to the distress call. The police engaged the bandits in a fierce gun battle, successfully thwarting the kidnap attempt. No fewer than 14 victims were rescued from the ordeal.

Unfortunately, two of the rescued individuals sustained gunshot injuries and were immediately rushed to a hospital for treatment. Tragically, one of the victims succumbed to injuries despite receiving medical attention.
