The suspects freely confessed to being members of a notorious bandit syndicate with the name 'Mai One Million', responsible for a series of kidnappings and other heinous crimes in FCT and its environs.
The coordinated operation, occasioned a shootout between the bandits and the security operatives, forcing them to scamper to safety and victims rescued. The illegally erected structures by the kidnappers in all the patrolled camps, were all decimated.
