Troops of the Nigerian military have neutralised four notorious bandits
in Igabi local government area of Kaduna State.
The success follows the ongoing military operations against armed
bandits, and human intelligence checks carried out by the troops in a
valley popularly known as ‘Maikwandaraso’ in Igabi LGA.
According to the state Commissioner for Internal Security and Home
Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, the four bandits were neutralised through air
interdictions, when the military engaged them at the location, as part of
combined ground and air assaults on identified bandit enclaves.
Maikwandaraso is close to Karshi village, and shares boundaries with
the infamous Kawara and Malul forests in the same Igabi LGA, which
have been identified as the hub of several armed bandit camps and
hideouts.
Several other bandits were also eliminated in the same cycle of air
interdictions and ground offensives.
