Troops of Harbin Kunama III of the Nigerian Army in a joint operation with troops of Operation Hadarin Daji have intercepted and neutralised some notorious bandits and their collaborators in Katsina state. A statement by Lt. Mohammad Yahaya, assistant director, Army public relations, 17 Brigade, on Sunday, July 28, said the clearance operation was carried out in collaboration with personnel of the Nigerian police.

Yahaya said that the clearance operation, which was aimed at destroying all bandits’ camps in Katsina state had yielded tremendous results. He said that the troops conducted a cordon and search exercise while acting on credible intelligence reports at Yar Santa village in Kankara local government area and its environs. According to him, at the peak of the exercise, one Monday Chikwunka, an indigene of Delta state alongside sixteen other bandits specialised in rustling cows, killing and kidnapping of citizens were rounded-up.

“Preliminary interrogation and confessional statements by the suspects revealed that the gang are responsible for most criminal activities in the state and its localities. “The ring leader, Monday Chikwunka, also served as medical aid of these criminals by providing medical assistance to the wounded bandits who sustain gun shot wounds and their families. “He confessed treating the pregnant wife of one of the most notorious bandits, Dogo Nahallt who is still at large. “The suspects have been handed over to the appropriate security agency for further investigation and prosecution,” he said. Yahaya also disclosed that troops while on clearance operations, encountered a group of fleeing bandits and neutralised one of the criminals who tried to escape.

He said that many camps belonging to the bandits were destroyed and items which included two AK47 rifles, four AK47 Magazines and 10 rounds of 7.62 mm were recovered from the scene.

Very very funny insinuation.

So, his being from Delta State which obviously stands him out as the only 'foreigner' in the group automatically means he is the ring leader.

I just can't wrap my head around this.

The day a non-Northern Muslim will be arrested in Sambisa, I'm sure that'd be the day Nigerians will be told Shakarau had a boss all along.

only an Igbo name was mentioned. Haba, after you claim to have arrested 17 of the bandits, oh 16 of them are ghosts while the Igbo bandit in human form. Buhari is trying to give us a bad name. And by the way Chukwunka is not an Igbo word. Beware of military ruga and liars... It won't stop me from fulfilling my promise to Obembet.

Exactly, Im wondering that myself. I looked at it and went through the whole article twice and did not see name of any of the other 16members. Makes me wonder what kind of arrest this is. This is the Nigerian Army by the way reporting the arrest. They tagged Chikwunka ring leader but failed to name his sixteen accomplices. They are looking for scapegoats

MONDAY "CHINEDU" Chikwunka from Aba

What's your promise oo my dear.. Tell me here make the nairalanders hear am

Henceforth, the narrative that will be spinned out is Igbo being responsible for banditry, kidnappings and even Fulani herdsmen killings.

That has being the target all along.

Modified. I never talk finish, one m.oron don start below, just watch out for the vilification of the Igbo on this thread, which begs the question, if they are hated this much, why not allow them have their country?

if you think I am Igbo for standing for the truth, the joke is on your parents.

Fake news
