Several bandits have been reportedly killed during an air strike in Giwa Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State by the Air component of Operations whirl Punch.
the target of the strike was the hideout of notorious bandit leader Alhaji Ganai located south of Kidandan Community in Giwa Local Council according to the Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan.
He said The bandit camp was struck and destroyed, while several members of the gang were neutralized during the strike.
Also, the hideout of another notorious bandit, Ali Kawaje located in Birnin Gwari LGA was also targeted and destroyed, as well as those of other bandits Musa Pajelo and Kachalla Bello.
In yet another air strike, several armed bandits were sighted and neutralized at Dankero, in Giwa Local council while other areas in Birnin Gwari, and Igabi local government areas were also covered.
Bandits have turned some parts of Kaduna State into a killing field for years now with the State Government setting up a Ministry of Internal Security headed by Mr Samuel Aruwan to help in streamlining efforts aimed at combatting the activities of the blood sucking group.
They have abducted several individuals amassing a formidable war chest of finances and weapons culminating in the March 28 attack on the Abuja-Kaduna Passenger Train Service that killed 8 passengers and led to the abduction of dozens of Others.
The bandits later released their victims in batches after the payment of ransom.
The Federal Government has since been working to ensure that the Train service resumes and run without interruption from any quarters.
These new moves will serve as confidence building measures to ensure that people can return to use the train and also ensure that the Terrorists/Bandits collaboration that allegedly led to the attack is put asunder.
