Not fewer than 12 armed bandits have been neutralised by security agents with stolen livestock and weapons recovered in Kurfi-Safana local government area of Katsina State.

Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs in the state, Dr. Nasiru Mua’zu, in a statement on Wednesday, said the operation was launched in response to an early morning attack on Rahamawa Village, located in the Kuraye District of Charanchi local government area.

Mua’zu said the assailants stormed the community around 5:40am, injuring a 60-year-old Alhaji Danmalam, and rustling 22 cattle.

Acting swiftly on intelligence reports, a combined team comprising the operatives of the Nigeria Police, Army, Community Watch Corps, and local vigilantes pursued the fleeing bandits to Dutsen Falale within the Kurfi-Safana enclave where a fierce exchange of gunfire ensued, resulting in the death of the twelve suspected bandits.

Mua’zu added that security forces also recovered five AK-47 rifles, several rounds of ammunition, and successfully retrieved all stolen 22 cattle.
