2021-12-19


A joint military taskforce has neutralised scores of bandidos operating within Isah Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

This is as the military’s taskforce operations launched attacks in the bandidos’s camps.

The bandidos led by Bello Turji were left scampering for safety in the wake of the raid that saw many of them killed, while others received various degrees of injuries during the shootout, Daily Post reports.

Sources in the army said the military onslaught was led by the General Officer Commanding 8th Division, Nigeria Army Headquarters, Sokoto, Major General Uwem Bassey.

It was learnt that two villages within Isa Local Gvernment Area, Satiru and Katanga, suffered series of attacks from bandidos, which resulted to the death of many community members in the axis.

It was gathered that the military operatives, however, stormed the bandidos’ hideouts between Thursday and Friday, killing many of the gunnies in the local government area.

Sources said that some of the bandidos, who survived the shootout, were seen running away from their enclave to the outskirts of Bafarawa Village
