One motorcycle, two AK-47 weapons, six AK-47 magazines, 250 rounds of 7.62 mm special, a power bank, two charm vests, and N200,000 were among the items he claimed were retrieved from the bandits.

“The troops have been complimented for their professional conduct and flawless mission execution by Maj-Gen Taoreed Lagbaja, the Force Commander of the Joint mission Force Operation Whirl Punch and the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 1 Division Nigerian Army.

He also urged the soldiers to proceed after all.
