The raid is coming after armed bandits had attacked and abducted teachers and students at Federal Government College , Yauri in Kebbi State. The reinforcement officers and men of the Nigerian Army, Police Force with the supports of the local vigilantes in the pursuit of abductors led to the elimination of many bandits and their rustled cows at different routes.
It was gathered that the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance platform of a Nigerian Air Force which detected the bandits’ enclaves, facilitated the smooth coordination of the troops’ operations. “It was after the ISR mission that the combined troops stormed the forests with supports of large numbers of local vigilantes known as Yansakai. The bandits failed in their attempt to ward off the troop’s attack. Many of them were butchered, while many of others fled with serious injuries and wounds,” a military source said.
