The army also seized a large cache of weapons from the terrorists including fifty assault weapons, 1 rocket launcher and hundreds of ammunition rounds.

According to Cameroon Web, a source said:

"They were immediately led forcibly to the gendarmerie station in the Far North. We must recognize that this operation was made possible through collaboration between forces of the National Gendarmerie Battalion and those of Early Intervention (BIR)."
