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