Two of the hunters, according to the Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security, Samuel Aruwan, sustained gunshot injuries during a gun battle with the bandits inside the forest.

He also disclosed that troops of operation Thunder Strike conducted clearance patrols at Napayako and Dajin Wuya villages during which several bandit camps were destroyed.
