overrun a Nigerian military base in Zamfara, Peoples Gazette has learnt, marking a major setback in the campaign to curb violent crimes across the state.

The bandits struck a forward operating base in Mutumji, Dansadau, about 80 kilometres south of the capital Gusau, at about 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, The Gazette learnt from military sources.

Officials immediately confirmed 12 fatalities, comprising nine Nigerian Air Force officers, two police officers and one Nigerian Army soldier. It was not immediately clear the level of fire that the soldiers returned to prevent the base from being sacked.

All slain personnel were evacuated to Yerima Bakura Specialist Hospital in Gusau and the three wounded have been receiving treatments at a brigade medical facility, officials said.

The attackers also seized weapons from the killed service members and set ablaze other equipment in the facility.

The number of security forces manning the base was not immediately clear. The base has served as a crucial point operation for logistics and reconnaissance efforts to rout out bandits operating between the eastern flank of Zamfara and western Katsina.

Last month, the criminals shut down a Nigerian Air Force jet, forcing the pilot to eject before the fighter went up in flames as it hit the forest.

Over the weekend, presidential spokesman Femi Adesina said the bandits were pleading for mercy after President Muhammadu Buhari ordered a large-scale military effort across the troubled North-West.

Telecom signals have already been shut down across Zamfara, with regulators saying the demand came from the military who wanted to barricade the bandits in a forest before eliminating them.

The Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Air Force did not return separate requests seeking comments about the development from The Gazette on Sunday night.

Mmmm

I love this, soldiers,police and terrorists must pay with their lives for the lives of Biafrans taken. Ten Zoogerians for one Biafran.

They're not bandits



They should say their name

Omo

And Buhari and Lai Muhammed still call them Bandits

These hardened and sophisticated terrorists.

Has borno 2.0 started? Fake and staged insurgency.

I don talk am say I will never pity any of uniformed man killed anymore. Good for all those killed and their families. This is a reward for what you lied against,framed, and did to my close friend last week, and collected 100k, the girl shot dead by police yesterday, and that 28 yr old graduate they arrested where he sat with friends, totured to death,while lying that he fell sick and died. Now I am beginning to support killing of millitary/paramilitary men 100%

They shot down an aircraft, attacked NDA and now over ran a military base, yet in buhari's own wisdom they are not terrorists, they are mere criminals and bandits.

Oh...such a terrible nation with lying failures occupying everywer. So bandits are killing soldiers like chickens yet they have the time to spin the stories. What's worse is that the so-called police is in the East, killing innocent people and tagging them Esn terrorists...but d real terr0rists in the north are having fun, untouched.
The country will definitely go up in flames.

These are the same bandits that the military claim it is dealing with ruthlessly.
Even though they are not showing us pictures of the audio ruthlessness

They are still calling them bandits but ipob are called terrorists. Their eyes will soon clear by the time all military barracks in Nigeria are controlled by terrorists bandits. Stupid people

Fake News Platform, Peoples Gazette, Accepts Responsibility For Poor Journalism



Terrorist News Network are fighting back, they even manufacture their own stories and propaganda rubbish.

And Buhari and Lai Muhammed still dial them BanditsThese hardened and sophisticated extremists.

It is a pity as militaries and civilians are losing their lives to the bandits.

And the people in power know these bandits but they keep quiet.

By tomorrow now PMB will say he sympathize with the families of the dead militaries,that is all.


Gumi will defend the bandits openly and nothing will happen to him.

Ok
