Three gunned down as Nigerian soldiers, bandits clash in Kaduna


 

No fewer than three bloodthirsty bandits have been gunned down by Nigerian soldiers at the Mai-Iddo village in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

About four farmers, including a woman, were rescued during the gun battle between the security operatives and the assailants.

The bandits, according to Daily Trust, abducted two farmers at Mai-Iddo village and two others, including a woman, at a farm in the neighbouring Arikon village last week.

It was gathered on Sunday that the victims were rescued after a raid on bandits’ hideout at a forest in Kurmin-Kare village.

According to reports, the soldiers, who were on a clearance operation around neighbouring villages in Kagarko LGA, encountered the assistants, resulting in a fierce gun battle and led to the death of the three bandits.

Efforts to obtain a reaction from the Kaduna State Police Command were unsuccessful at the moment as its spokesperson, ASP Hassan Mansur, could not be reached.
