Upon receipt of the report, promptly, DPO Dandume mobilized men of both Operation Sharan Daji and Restore Peace and responded to the scene. The team engaged the suspected bandits in a fierce gun duel and succeeded in repelling the attack.

“In the course of scanning the scene, the body of one suspected bandit as well as one general-purpose machine gun with 27 rounds of 94.5mm live ammunition were recovered,”
