Again, Nigerian Air Force NAF, jet bombarded hideouts of bandits in three local government areas of Chikun, Birnin Gwari and Igabi in Kaduna State, killing scores of them.
This was contained in a statement by the State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, on Wednesday, but was, however, silent on when the operations were carried out.
According to him, “The Nigerian Air Force has continued with assaults on identified bandit camps and enclaves around Kaduna State.
“Feedback to the Kaduna State Government revealed that a camp in Riyawa, Igabi LGA, was targeted and destroyed. A terrorist location at Tofa general area of Birnin Gwari LGA was similarly engaged and struck.
“Close air support was provided to ground troops conducting operations in Maidaro, Dogon Dawa, Damari, Saulawa and Farin Ruwa areas of Birnin Gwari LGA.
“Armed reconnaissance was carried out along the Kaduna-Birnin Gwari Road, Buruku, Kurmin Dande, Damba, Ungwan Yako, Udawa, Manini, Kuriga, Gagafada, Kushaka, Polewire and Kamfanin Doka areas spanning Chikun and Birnin Gwari LGAs. No suspicious activity was observed at the locations covered. Further updates will be communicated as they emerge,” he said.
