Security forces have killed several bandits and destroyed their camps during clearance operations in Igabi and Chikun local government areas of Kaduna State. 

The troops also arrested one Malam Idris Audu, a spiritual leader to the bandits and one Rabi Hajiya Karime, said to be the wife of a notorious bandit, Zubairu.  

The Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, disclosed this in a statement Friday.

Aruwan said the clearance operations were conducted in Faka, Katuka, Barebari and Maguzawa.  

He pointed out that an unconfirmed number of bandits were sighted on the high ground across the Maguzawa River, adding, “They were engaged by a Nigerian Air Force attack helicopter, and neutralised.”   

He said the security forces equally conducted clearance patrols to Katuka, about 9km from Kangon Kadi in Chikun Local Government Area, during which one fleeing bandit was apprehended.  

Aruwan added that some motorcycles, one AK47 rifle, some AK47 magazines, ammunition and drugs were recovered after razing some bandits’ camps in Udawa in Chikun.
