It was gathered the armed groups had attacked villages around Atabo, Zoma, and neighbouring communities, rustling large herds of cattle before attempting to retreat toward Zamfara State.

Air assets deployed by the Nigerian Armed Forces targeted the bandits, resulting in the deaths of several attackers and the recovery of the stolen cattle.

On Tuesday, some surviving bandits reportedly attempted to regroup and launch a counterattack to reclaim the seized cattle.

Troops engaged them in a subsequent operation, killing several and preventing their plan.
