…. 45 Bandits Neutralized

Following credible intelligence, fighter jets from the Nigerian Airforce (NAF) have bombed key enclaves of kidnapping and banditry in Rijana, Kaduna State.

PRNigeria gathered that the airstrikes also destroyed an armoury and a building occupied by a kidnapping kingpin, Ali Kawaje (Kwaja), and eliminated scores of bandits in the vicinity.

Bandits often use the enclaves as their staging points to carry out attacks on travellers and commuters on the Abuja -Kaduna Expressway.

An intelligence source told PRNigeria that recent attacks on unsuspecting travellers along the Kaduna-Abuja Expressway necessitated the increased surveillance and intelligence along the road and environs to uncover bandits’ activities and their modus operandi in the area.

The source said: “Most of the attacks along Kaduna-Abuja Expressway are orchestrated by bandits from Rijana-Kuzo axis.

“After confirming the location, the Air Component of Operation Thunder Strike scrambled fighter aircraft to take out the targets.

“Overhead the target area, armed bandits were seen gathered and were engaged. Some fleeing bandits after the initial strike were trailed to a location, about 4km Southeast of Kaduna State NYSC Orientation Camp and were subsequently neutralized.

“Furthermore, the Air Component destroyed a key bandits’ house at Kofita, after it was revealed that the building serves as a warehouse and staging location for most of the attacks in the area.”

Locals residing within a safe distance of the area also confirmed to our correspondent that over 45 bandits were neutralized at Rijana axis during the strike.

4 kms south of the NYSC camp?

By tomorrow same people go kidnap 300 and block express way

May the efforts of genuine armed force men not be sabotaged

Bandits have armoury

Way to go

Why bombing him now instead of taking him up as the usual repentant, deradicalized and rehabilitated bandit?

iwaeda:

Good news ..

Anything to free those northern roads is welcomed..

One can’t be driving expecting the worst and hoping you will reach.

That Olams Na dangerous area .. few kilometers to nysc.. used to think am safe anytime I get to nysc

Hmmm

Nigeria always have a reactive apparatus and mentality to everything. Must kidnappers ply the road thousands of time before security agents neutralize them?

Must book haram killed countless Nigerian army personnel before they are neutralize? Everything in Nigeria concerning the common man is handled without care! Shame

The security agencies in this country have failed in their basic commitments of securing lives and properties!

Good news. Nigerian politicians are very wicked. They are behind all this killings to make this government look incapacitated so that during campaign they will use it against APC.
APC is PDP and PDP is APC

Omoh

I pray they succeed, more grace.

is it kidnappers or innocent citizens

Thanks be to God for using the military to mitigate the burden of this country. The only thing I'm tired of is the fact that how can a civilian president buys the heart of the entire military. Imagine the oxymoron " Military Politician"



Come this 2023, it won't shock me if the military start voting too becos it has been since inception incognito

After telling the bandits to move to another place so that u can bomb empty houses. Yeye army

Lies from the pit of hell. U just can't set a bush ablaze and tell us u've destroyed a Fulani's enclave

Who dares destroy a Fulani's enclave?

Bandits, ISWAP, ISIS, Boko Haram are our portion in the North Insha Allah!

97% of Nigerian Army should be deployed to the south east to give UmuChineke maximum protection.

Allahu Akbar! Gbosai!

Good news
