The Tunri high ground, Bulli and other adjoining communities have constituted dreaded flashpoints of the gunmen and other criminals terrorizing the Bauchi/Plateau neighbouring communities.
Acting on the tip by the local, troops, which first cleared Tunri high ground, diverted to Bulli, where they mowed down the terrorists and save Bala Musa, a citizen of Kano State, who was enroute back home.
His prompt rescue saved enabled his family to save a whooping N3 million they had collected, and were already on their way to pay as ransome to his kidnappers fir his release.
