Troops neutralise two bandits and clear several hideouts in Kaduna

On Tuesday, Nigerian Army soldiers killed bandits in the Kachia woodland as part of an operation to clear the area.

This was confirmed to ObasanjoNews24 by Musa Arungo, a local.

The information was also confirmed by Samuel Aruwan, who is the Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs for the state of Kaduna.

He claimed that according to information the Kaduna State Government obtained from the troops, battle patrols along the Kaboresha-Rijana Forest-Kuzo-Kujeni-Gwanto-Kachia axis resulted in the neutralisation of the bandits.

He says that the soldiers set up an ambush along the Gwanto-Kwasau Road and fought bandits riding motorcycles toward the spot.

“Three motorcycles were found, and two bandits were neutralised by the army.”

In the approximate area of Kutura-Rijana, the army also conducted raids on bandit camps. “When the troops arrived, the bandits escaped into the jungle, and the soldiers burned the camps and found three motorcycles,” he added.

He claims that bandoliers and other sets of military clothes were among the other things found.

He told the people that the fight against bandits was going on and asked them to keep giving him useful information.

Nasir el-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna State, also complimented the soldiers.
