In the early hours of Sunday, military men who were doing their normal cordon-and-search at Unguwa Uku were shot at by gunmen. <\/p>\n
The soldiers retaliated immediately, which led to the killing of the 14 suspects and arrest of others.<\/p>\n
The JTF spokesperson, Captain Ikedichi Iweha who disclosed this to reporters, noted that a Golf car loaded with bombs was also intercepted. <\/p>\n
Some of the items recovered were 14 AK 47, many improvised explosive devices and locally-fabricated anti-machine guns.<\/p>\n
Two houses believed to be the hide-outs of the group were razed down by the JTF men. The Commandant of the 3rd Mechanised Brigade, Bukavu, Brig.-Gen. Iliasu Abba, visited the scene of the fight where the two houses were razed down.<\/p>\n
Members of the public were urged again to always support the authorities with useful information.<\/p>\n
