Nigerian troops have killed a notorious bandit terrorizing communities in the northwest of Nigeria, according to an official statement by Ahmed Idris, spokesperson to Kebbi Governor Nasir Idris.
Idris disclosed the news in a statement released early on Tuesday, stating that the bandit, known as Mai-Nasara, was killed during a security operation at Sangeko forest in Kebbi State.
Five suspected members of Mai-Nasara’s gang were arrested during the operation.
Mr. Idris added that AbdulRahman Usman, the Director of Security at the Cabinet Office, Birnin Kebbi, confirmed the success story.
While commending the security personnel for their efforts in fighting crimes and criminalities in the southern part of Kebbi State, Usman appealed to the public to support the personnel in order to achieve the desired goal of flushing out criminals and restoring peace.
“Your support and cooperation are highly necessary for the security agencies to achieve the desired goal of flushing out criminals and restoring peace and normalcy in our land.”
“Security is supposed to be everybody’s business, therefore, people should endeavour to assist the security agencies in all ramifications, especially with credible intelligence towards successful combats,” Usman said.
