The military authorities say they’ll investigate reports of reprisal attacks by bandits loyal to DANKARAMI who narrowly escaped being killed by airstrike that successful took out his fighters.
Reports indicate that Begu- a local bandit-is believed to be behind the reprisal attack unarmed civilians in Yan Waren Daji, a village in Tsafe Local Council Area of Zamfara State.
At a news conference, Director of Defence Media Operations Major General Musa Danmadami said investigation will be launched to determine if the attack actually happened.
He warned that instead of attacking civilians bandits should consider taking on troops in the frontline.
The military said it had conducted airstrikes in the early hours of Monday on targets in the Gusami forest and west Tsamre village in Zamfara state, killing more than 100 bandits including two of their leaders.
There have been a series of attacks in the northwest, which has seen a sharp rise in mass abductions and other violent crimes since late 2020 as the government struggles to maintain law and order.
In a separate incident, 30 students abducted from their college in Kebbi state were freed on Saturday, a spokesman for the Kebbi governor said, without providing details.
President Muhammadu Buhari said in a statement that the military had acquired more equipment to track down and eliminate criminal gangs that have been subjecting people to a reign of terror, including through the illegal imposition of taxes on communities under siege.
“The latest attacks on innocent people by the bandits is an act of desperation by mass murderers, now under relentless pressure from our military forces,” Buhari said.
Buhari added that the government would not relent in its military operations to get rid of the bandits.
