Seven armed bandits were killed and four motorcycles were recovered at Baba in Katsina State’s Kankara Local Government Area by Nigerian Army.
Dr. Nasir Mu’azu, the commissioner for internal security and home affairs, made this disclosure on Friday while giving journalists a briefing.
He claimed that the operation, which lasted for more than two hours on Thursday, was carried out after reliable information revealed criminal activity was enraging rural communities there.
Mu’azu claimed that the troops successfully attacked the bandits, neutralizing seven of them while the rest fled with gunshot wounds.
During the mission, four motorcycles used for their operations were also recovered.

This success is a result of the military’s ongoing operations in front-line local government areas, which aim to end illegal hunting and restore peace to farming activities during the rainy season, he said.
The Nigerian Army and other security forces working tirelessly to protect the state’s citizens are recognized by the state government through the Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs.
To maintain the fight against banditry, the government continues to support security organizations through logistics, intelligence sharing, and community-based collaborations. We appoint every effort to protect the lives and livelihoods of Katsina State’s citizens.
