The troops, however, tracked the assailants to a makeshift camp at the outskirt of Arufu in neighbouring Taraba State.

On sighting the troops, the armed bandits opened fire, troops overwhelmed the criminals with high-intensity fire, killing 2 of them while others fled in disarray with gunshot wounds.

In the process, one AK 47 rifle as well as 10 rounds of 7.62mm Special were recovered.

Additionally, the gallant troops have dominated the area conducting clearance patrol from Arufu to Akwana in order to rid the general area of any untoward activities.
