The operation, conducted by the troops deployed in Akate in Donga Local Government Area, occurred following intelligence reports that revealed an attack in Geshi Village by armed terrorists. Acting on this information, troops swiftly mobilized to the area and engaged the  armed men in a fierce exchange of gun battle, ultimately overpowering the terrorists with superior fire power and subdued them forcing the criminals to flee in disarray into the bush with gun shot wounds. Troop continued to explore the success by pursuing the miscreants and arrested 2 terrorists with their motorcycles. The captured terrorist are currently under custody for interrogation.

In another development, troops of Headquarters 6 Brigade while on routine patrol within the Jalingo metropolis, found a 9 year old pupil named Miss Dorothy Kwatsumen wandering around in her school uniform at Gongomaliki area in Yorro LGA of Taraba State. Preliminary investigation to determine the name of her school and the location of her parents or guardians proved abortive. Consequently, she was moved immediately to the Brigade headquarters for custody to ensure her parents were located. 


Eventually, she was later discovered to be  a pupil of Glory Children Academy. Troops proceeded to the school location and met the headteacher who informed troops that they had been searching for about 24 hours and have reported the case to the Jalingo Police Division. The pupil was later reunited with her parents.
