The JTF operatives, our correspondent gathered raided Gwamaj, Yandabai and Yankaba in the early hours of yesterday.
It would recalled that three police officers were gunned down by suspected Islamic Extremists in Yankaba, an action which sources said informed yesterday’s raid in the area.
The slain police officer attached to JTF and the terrorists were killed in Yankaba gun duel, which recorded sporadic gun shots for greater part of the early hours of Wednesday..
When contacted, spokesman for JTF spokesman, Captain Iwedichi Iweha, said one terrorist was killed while one arrest was made.
He was however silent on the slain police officer, whose death was confirmed by police authorities.
