Jalige said that on April 9 at about 1525hours, gunmen suspected to be bandits blocked Buruku  Birnin Gwari Road around Unguwan Yako forest in an attempt to kidnap occupants of two Volkswagen salon cars.

“A swift response by the operatives of the command forced the marauding bandits to retreat and flee into the forest with bullet wounds, abandoning their victims.

He said that the drivers of the vehicles sustained varying degrees of injuries and were receiving treatment.
