The command’s spokesperson, Gambo Isah, issued a statement to the press, providing details of the incident.
According to Isah, the police received a distress call reporting an attack on Bajinawa village in Dutsinma LGA.
The assailants, identified as terrorists on motorcycles, were indiscriminately firing AK-47 rifles and had abducted five women.
In response, the area commander, Dutsinma, led a team of dedicated policemen to Tashar Icce, a suspected route and notorious hideout for the bandits.

During a thorough search of the area, one member of the terrorist gang was neutralized, and the team managed to recover an AK-47 rifle.
