Nigerian Army troops recovered an AK-47 rifle and discovered a suspected bandit's corpse during a security operation in Old Oyo National Park. This occurred as part of Operation IGBO DANU II, alongside hybrid forces who engaged suspected bandits on Saturday. The recovered body and weapons were found following a follow-up operation on Sunday, November 8.
According to an operational report, the suspected criminals abandoned the scene upon spotting the advancing troops. In the aftermath, soldiers recovered an AK-47 rifle with the registration number 14907, an empty magazine, and a Dane gun. Further searches on Sunday led to the discovery of the suspected bandit's body, and the demolition of temporary structures believed to have served as hideouts for the criminal group.
The military personnel continued their search of the area but reported no further encounters with the suspected bandits. The operation aimed to prevent criminal groups from using the park as a sanctuary and enhance security in the operational zone.
