It seems like the security operatives are not resting their oars in their fight against insecurity in the Country as the Kaduna State Government says no fewer than 50 bandits have been killed by a combined team of security officials during an operation in Birnin Gwari local government area of the state.

The bandits were neutralized during an operation carried out by both the ground and air assault in the Saulawa-Farin Ruwa axis of Birnin Gwari local government area.

According to the Kaduna State Commissioner for internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, a Nigerian Air Force helicopter gunship provided close air support to ground troops advancing from the Dogon-Dawa-Damari-Saulawa axis.

The Commissioner further said that armed bandits on about 50 motorcycles were sighted fleeing towards Farin Ruwa, and were struck effectively by the gunship while fleeing remnants were mopped up by ground forces.
