Troops Neutralize Bandits, Clears Hideouts

Troops of Operation Forest Sanity have neutralized two bandits and cleared several hideouts in Chikun LGA. 

The operatives achieved these breakthroughs during fighting patrols along the Kaboresha-Rijana Forest-Kuzo-Kujeni-Gwanto-Kachia axis. 

The troops set up an ambush position along the Gwanto-Kwasau Road, and thus engaged bandits approaching the location on motorcycles. The troops neutralized two bandits and recovered three motorcycles. 

The operatives also raided bandits’ camps in the Kutura-Rijana general area. The bandits fled into the forest on sighting the troops, who then destroyed the camps and recovered three motorcycles. 

Other items confiscated include several sets of military uniforms and bandoliers. 

The onslaught against bandits is in progress and the government appeals to the general public to continue to volunteer useful information.
