Soldiers have killed two bandits in Birnin Gwari Local government area of Kaduna State.
Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.
He said,”Troops of Operation Forest Sanity made further gains as they continued fighting patrols and clearance operations in the Birnin Gwari area.
“In an operational feedback to the Kaduna State Government, it was reported that the troops embarked on the clearance patrol along the Birnin Gwari-Doka-Sabon Layi-Kuriga-Maganda-Farin Ruwa road.
“The troops made contact with the bandits at Farin Ruwa. Two bandits were neutralized in the encounter, as the criminal elements were forced to withdraw under the troops’ superior firepower.”
Mr Aruwan said the Kaduna State Government had received the development with satisfaction, and commended the troops for another successful round of operations.
