The unrelenting efforts by the police to root-out criminal elements terrorizing commuters along Abuja-Kaduna expressway recorded additional successes, with the recovery of six Ak47 Rifles, one pump action gun, 1,206 rounds of Ak47 ammunition, seven magazines, 28 cartridges and 158 expended shells by police operatives attached to Operation Puff Adder deployed to the area.
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.
