“Their movement was strongly suspected to be for their usual heinous mission.

“In a bid to truncate such mission police operatives were deployed to the location for a possible engagement and restoration of safety.

“Some sustained bullet injuries while one was gunned down; his AK49 assault rifle and operational motorcycle were recovered.

“Equally, a locally fabricated long-range revolver with its 12 polymer cased cartridges were recovered when a search was conducted in the area,’’ he added.
