According to Usman Abdullahi, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), the operation aimed to rescue 23 people who were kidnapped on Tuesday in Pupule, Yoro Local Government Area.

The gunfight, which ensued during the rescue attempt, led to the death of ASP Aminu Nuhu, a police officer engaged in the operation.

Abdullahi noted that the intense exchange of gunfire took place in a mountainous area within Yoro LGA, a suspected hideout of the bandits. While three bandits were neutralised, several others sustained gunshot wounds and managed to escape.

Additionally, four bandits were apprehended by the police during the operation.
