Four soldiers were feared dead in an ambush by bandits in Zurmi Local Government Area of Zamfara State on Tuesday.

A source said troops of Operation Hadarin were taken unawares by the bandits in the bush between Birane and Garin-Kada villages of the Zurmi Local Government Area.

The soldiers were said to be conveying food to their colleagues on guard in the bush.

It was gathered that as soon as the soldiers arrived near the area where the bandits were hiding, they opened fire and killed four soldiers.
The Force Commander of the OPHD who is also the General Officer Commanding, 1 Division, Sokoto, Brig. Gen. Aminu Bande, has visited the scene.

“The soldiers regrouped, attacked and killed the bandits in large numbers, forcing them to flee leaving some of their assault weapons,” the source said.

You think it's most important that your army has been reduced to a reactionary outfit who has lost the initiative to the enemy?

That's very poor thinking.

too bad

They should be going about just shooting or arresting random people when there's no war, right?

But there's war in the state and bandits has been killing people there for years. They should be at alert knowing that they are a prime target for arms and logistics theft.

Doesn't it strike you as ironic that the army will force bikes to alight with their passengers at a checkpoint and walk past in a peaceful state like Abia with zero history of armed attacks on the forces but the masses in the north are moving freely. That's the Nigerian irony

I miss the real army commanders, these ones are just businessmen in uniform.

Ewedu nd Amala at it again

Where are the killed bandits.

So they killed 4 and waited for you to regroup abi?

Anyways, am waiting for videos of soldiers of soldiers threatening the bandits even with rape.

They got power only over civilians.

The ones on guard in the bush could not stop the bandits because they were sleeping in the bush and the bandits sneaked past.
