It further stated that the display of weapons and sporadic shooting of guns led to the death of one Surajo Alhaji Ali, a 40 yrs old man.

On arriving at the scene, the leader of the gang, Bala Minister, was arrested while others fled. The statement reads, “On 3rd May 2022, DPO Bukkuyum Division responded to a distress call from Tungar Dutsi Community in Gana district of Bukkuyum LGA.
