Security sources revealed that following intelligence on the bandits’ movements, troops targeted their hideout in Kurmin-Kare village’s dense forest, leading to an intense exchange of fire.

In a decisive raid in Kaduna State, Nigerian soldiers clashed with armed bandits, killing three and rescuing four abducted farmers in the process.

The clash occurred in Mai-Iddo village, Kachia Local Government Area, where soldiers had been conducting a clearance operation across rural areas plagued by recent bandit activity.

The operation led to the release of four hostages, including a woman, who had been held by the assailants since last week.

The bandits had reportedly abducted two farmers in Mai-Iddo and another two individuals, one of whom was a woman, at a nearby farm in Arikon village.
