The intelligence-led operation, carried out on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, is part of ongoing efforts by the police to dismantle a robbery syndicate believed to be responsible for a series of attacks on residents and travelers within the area.
In an official Facebook update on Friday, March 20, the police identified the deceased as Amadu, popularly known as “Manu.” According to the statement, he sustained gunshot wounds during the operation and was later confirmed dead.
