Recovered from the scene were one AK-47 rifle, a magazine, and several live rounds of ammunition.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Bello M. Sani, lauded the operatives for their swift response and gallantry. He noted that sustained patrols in Shanga LGA and adjoining communities have been instrumental in reducing criminal activities.

He urged residents to remain vigilant and continue to provide timely and credible information to security agencies, assuring that the police command is fully committed to safeguarding lives and property across the state.
