Soldiers have apprehended two suspected bandits while receiving treatment at a private clinic in Kachia LGA of Kaduna State.
A community leader in the area, who confirmed the arrest to our reporter through telephone on Saturday, said the two bandits were among those that fled when troops raided their hideout at the Kurutu forest, two weeks ago.
He said the bandits sustained bullets wounds during the raid, adding that a commercial cyclist that took the bandits to the clinic was also arrested.
He said, “Two among the bandits who suffered injuries during the raid on their hideout by troops went to a clinic for treatment after they were apprehended while being attended to.”
