Troops of the Nigerian Army have neutralized two armed bandits along the Kaduna-Zaria road in the Igabi local government of the state.
This was contained in a statement signed by Samuel Aruwan, Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Kaduna State and made available to newsmen in Kaduna.
In an operational feedback to the Kaduna state government, it was revealed that the troops, responding quickly to credible intelligence, set up an ambush position at the location.
“On entering the area, the bandits sprang into the ambush and came under intense fire as they were stoutly repelled by the troops, as two of the criminals were thus neutralized.”
According to the Commissioner, the state government received the feedback with satisfaction and praised the troops for their swiftness in responding to intelligence reports.
The government also conveyed its appreciation to the troops and other security forces, while encouraging them to sustain the determined efforts to rout all criminal elements.
