The bandit was reportedly killed in the Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Troops of Sector 6, Operation Whirl Punch, have reportedly neutralised a bandit confirmed to be an associate of a bandit kingpin, Buharin Yadi, who was recently killed.
The bandit was reportedly killed in the Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The state government said according to the feedback it received, the troops were pulled to Sabon Layi from various locations in Giwa LGA for the commencement of the special patrol, Samuel Aruwan, Overseeing Commissioner, Kaduna State Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, said in a statement on Sunday.
“The troops then projected their force from there to Kidandan. On approaching the village, a bandit was sighted fleeing on a motorcycle.
Aruwan said, “The troops gave chase, and the terrorist was duly neutralized in the engagement which followed around the outskirts of the community.
“Verification of his identity revealed the bandit to be one Daushe, an associate of the recently neutralized kingpin Buharin Yadi.”
Bandit leader Buhari Alhaji Halidu (known as Buharin Yadi) was reportedly eliminated along with dozens of his associates by security forces in Giwa LGA days earlier.
Receiving the feedback, Kaduna State Governor Senator Uba Sani expressed gratitude to the troops for their relentless hard work, and congratulated the General Officer Commanding, 1 Division Nigerian Army, Major General MLD Saraso, for the latest breakthrough, the statement said.
According to Aruwan, the governor encouraged the troops to keep up the tempo towards the complete degradation of terrorist elements in the general area.
