The recovery followed a serious exchange of gun fire encounter between police operatives and a heavily armed notorious criminal gang at the Akilbu forest, off Abuja-Kaduna Expressway, which resulted in the death of nine members of the gang while two escaped with gunshot wounds.
One of the police operatives however sustained gunshot wound and he is presently receiving treatment in a hospital, as efforts have been intensified to arrest the fleeing members of the gang.
