“In the firefight that ensued during the engagements, the patrol team overpowered the bandits with superior firepower neutralizing, one of them, while three others were captured alive, as some of the criminal elements escaped with gunshot wounds,” the army spokesman said.

“A fighting patrol led by the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 1 Division Nigerian Army, Major General Taoreed Lagbaja accompanied by a team of Operational commanders and operatives have cleared bandits in Buruku, Udawa, Manini, Birnin Gwari, Doka, Maganda, Kuyello and Dogon Dawa communities in Kaduna state, while on a fighting patrol on Monday 29 August 2022.”

Items recovered from the bandits include one AK-47 rifle, 27 rounds of 7.62 mm special ammunition and 18 motorcycles.

The army spokesman also urged members of the public, particularly health facilities and paramedics to watch out for persons who may be seeking medical attention for gunshot wounds.

Should they see any person with gunshot injuries, Nwachukwu asked healthcare facilities to please report to relevant security agencies. (ChannelsTV / vitalnewsngr.com )
