Several other suspects also sustained gunshot injuries while fleeing the scene.

Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the command, CSP Ahmed Mohammed Wakil who confirmed the incident in a statement on Thursday said operatives responded swiftly to a distress call reporting that a gang of armed robbers had blocked the highway and robbing motorists on June 4, 2025.

He added that a tactical team led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Toro Division, in collaboration with auxiliary security personnel were mobilised to the scene.

Upon arrival, Wakil said the officers engaged the suspects in a fierce gun battle but due to the superior firepower of the operatives, the robbers were forced to disperse in chaos, resulting in several sustaining bullet injuries.
