Spokesman DSP Daniel Ndukwe said they subdued the suspects who opened fire upon sighting them with superior firepower.

According to him, other members of the outlawed group escaped with various gunshot wounds. He said they recovered one AK-47 rifle, one Sub-Machine Gun, one stainless Pump-Action Gun (PAG), 27 live and 23 expended rounds of 7.62 mm calibre ammunition after the raid and gun duel. Ndukwe also said they recovered five live cartridges and a small blue-coloured Gideon New Testament Bible probably used to conceal objects suspected to be charms.
