Many terrorists were killed when Nigerian Air Force (NAF) jets bombed bandits’ camps in Igabi, Chikun, and Birnin-Gwari Local Government Areas in Kaduna State.
State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan said this in a statement on Wednesday. He however did not say when the operations were carried out.
