Nigerian Airforce neutralises no fewer than 10 bandits near Kaduna
[PULSE.NG] The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says its Air Component of Operation HADARIN DAJI (OPHD), has neutralised no fewer than 10 bandidos at forests near Birnin Gwari and Janko Hill in Kaduna.

NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, who disclosed this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, said the operation was conducted on Saturday.

"The operation was conducted yesterday, Oct. 5, following the directives by the OPHD Headquarters to resume kinetic operations against camps identified as harboring unrepentant armed bandidos.

"The decision was taken in the wake of the attack on troops’ location at Sunke in Anka Local Government Area of Zamfara State as well as the increased migration of bandidos towards the Birnin Gwari area of Kaduna State," he said.

Daramola explained that the attack on the bandidos was undertaken when a NAF helicopter on armed reconnaissance mission over the Birnin Gwari general area spotted several bandidos at the location and engaged them with its guns killing some of them.

He said some bandidos were similarly tracked to Janko Hill and equally neutralised.
