Armed bandits and Nigerien soldiers are currently fighting along the border community of Jibia Local Government Area of Katsina State.

The gunmen reportedly killed a soldier, injured many others and seized a gun truck belonging to the foreign soldiers in the ongoing gun duel that started on Monday, multiple sources told PREMIUM TIMES.

Mustapha Yusuf, the lawmaker representing Jibia at the State House of Assembly, told this newspaper that gunmen from Nigeria attacked a community in Niger Republic and rustled many livestock into Nigerian territory.

“The soldiers from Niger Republic are in Nigerian territory on a rescue mission following bandits’ attack at one of the adjoining communities in Niger Republic.

They are allowed to enter for 30 kilometres based on security arrangements,” the lawmaker said.

Mr Yusuf said one of the foreign soldiers was killed and another injured following an ambush by the bandits in the Jibia area while a gun truck belonging to the foreign soldiers was seized by the bandits.

He added that many of the foreign soldiers and a popular vigilante leader have been missing since Monday.

Also, locals said about 17 vehicles from Niger Republic loaded with soldiers were seen in the Jibia area heading towards a forest. Subsequently, a heavy sound of explosion was heard from the soldiers believed to be engaging the bandits in the forest.

The police spokesperson in Katsina, Gambo Isah, could not be reached for comments as he did not pick calls to his mobile telephone.

Why are they still calling this people bandits, they are damn terrorist.

You will soon see this same particular statement in the police report,
"Some members of the gang escaped into the bush with bullet wounds"
and
"My men are combing the Bush in search of the bandits"

Rescuing is supposed to be the duty of the Nigerian army, but what do we have instaed.?
Nigeria has become the den of robbers, they have pillaged Nigeria to the extend that theres nothing left and had to go to the next country and yet we have an army.
Hope this guys will not leave everything someday as those over there did to Taliban?
