Troops have again killed three bandits in Kaduna State while they also seized ammunition

Troops have again killed three bandits in Kaduna State as they intensified the clearance patrol in communities, along Rogo-Eka axis, in Kajuru Local Government Area (LGA).

In a statement by the Coordinating Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, the operational feedback to the Kaduna State Government noted that “the troops conducted special clearance patrols in the area and made contact with bandits”, pointing out that “after an exchange of fire, three of the criminals were summarily neutralised.”

“The troops scoured the immediate vicinity and recovered two AK-47 rifles, four AK-47 magazines and 81 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition.”

Aruwan said: “The Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani, thanked the security forces for the feedback and commended the troops – under the leadership of the General Officer Commanding, 1 Division Nigerian Army, Major General MLD Saraso – for intensifying efforts to ensure a peaceful Eid celebration for citizens.

“The troops will continue special fighting patrols within the general area and other locations of interest.”
