According to Yahaya, troops from the 1 Division Nigerian Army’s operation Forest Sanity ambushed and successfully neutralised two bandit leaders, capturing arms, ammunition, and other equipment.

 

 

 

An earlier intelligence source told him that a bandit leader named Isiya Danwasa planned to send his errand boy Yunusa to Kaduna town to buy arms and ammunition.

 

 

 

“Subsequently, the errand boy was trailed and picked up by plainclothes soldiers and later used to lure two of the bandits’ leaders to a selected ammunition collection point.

 

 

 

“Upon their arrival, troops who had laid an ambush engaged the criminals with superior firepower and neutralised them.

 

 

 

Yahaya said items recovered from the bandits included one motorcycle, two AK 47 rifles, six AK 47 magazines, 250 rounds of 7.62 mm special, one power bank, two charm vests and the sum of N200,000 (two hundred thousand naira).
