Troops of 1 Division/Sector 1, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have foiled a bandits’ attack and killed one suspect in Kaduna State.
A credible source at the 1 division disclosed this to journalists on Saturday in Kaduna.
The source said the incident occurred during a snap ambush operation in the Maraban Rido general area of Kaduna State.
He said the operation followed a distress call received late on Thursday that bandits had rustled livestock in Anguwan Fulani village, Rido area.
“Acting on the intelligence, troops swiftly deployed and laid a hasty ambush. On arrival, the troops made contact with the fleeing bandits and engaged them, forcing the criminals to withdraw in disarray with gunshot wounds.

“During the engagement, the troops again overwhelmed the terrorists, compelling them to abandon their loot and flee.
“Some of the rustled livestock were recovered,” he stated.
