Operation Details: Nigerian Army Neutralizes Bandits in Kaduna

Reports have confirmed that the Army is dedicated to dealing with security problems all over Nigeria.

In Kidandan, Kaduna state, Nigerian Army troops carried out a mission on Saturday, April 6, neutralizing violent non-state actors commonly known as bandits.

According to official updates shared on the verified X (formerly Twitter) page of the Army, the operation involved ambushing the deadly terrorists in Kaduna state. The Army acted based on credible intelligence, targeting the terrorist group notorious for using motorcycles to carry out criminal activities in the region.

During the operation on Friday, April 5, 2024, near Kidandan village in Giwa local government area of Kaduna state, the troops engaged the terrorists in a fierce gun battle, resulting in the neutralization of three of them.

The terrorist group was intercepted while en route to repair their motorcycles, which they heavily relied on for mobility while carrying out acts of terror in Kaduna state and the wider northwest region.

Additionally, the operation led to the recovery of significant weaponry, including one AK-47 rifle, one stock AK-47 rifle, four motorcycles, and one Motorola radio.

The northwest geopolitical zone of Nigeria has been grappling with ongoing conflicts, often plagued by banditry. Bandits frequently target the region, leading to devastating consequences that sometimes surpass the casualties caused by the insurgency of Boko Haram.
