Airstrike kills armed bandits in Kaduna

The Nigerian Air Force says its airstrikes have killed several armed bandits at Walawa, Yadi and Kuduru hills in Kaduna state.

In a statement on Wednesday, the director of public relations and information, air commodore Ibikunle Daramola hints that some of their logistics supplies were destroyed in the process.

This follows a special operation conducted in coordination with the Nigeria police force and other security agencies to smoke out the bandits.

The statement says in all, no fewer than 5 commanders of Ansaru and a dozen armed bandits were neutralized in the operation.

Daramola also reiterates the commitment of the air force to flush the armed bandits out of the northwest region.
