Bature sustained gun wounds and was being treated in a hospital.

According to The Nation, sources said the operatives at the weekend stormed the Makarfi deep forest in Kaduna State and engaged the bandits in their enclave when they were busy sharing the ransom cash paid for the release of Rarara’s mother.

A source said:  “The operatives were able to overpower the kidnappers, killing one instantly and arresting another who is receiving treatment from the gun shots he received from DSS operatives.
