As part of its efforts to rid the state of non-state actors terrorising it, the Police Command in Kaduna said it’s recorded another victory in its onslaught against bandits in the state. <\/p>\n
It disclosed that two bandits were killed while others were severely injured in its fresh offensive against the bandits. <\/p>\n
According to a statement by spokesperson of the Command, ASP Mohammed Jalige, on Thursday, two AK 47 assault rifles were also recovered during the operation on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Jalige said: \u201dIn furtherance to its sustained onslaught against banditry in Kaduna, particularly Birnin Gwari axis, the command on Tuesday, May 31, recorded another success.<\/p>\n
\u201dThis involved neutralizing two bandits and recovering two AK 47 assault rifles, while several other bandits sustained bullet wounds.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the operation followed distress information received on the same date, at about 1600hrs, that some bandits, in large numbers, had attacked Kimdi village, of Birnin Gwari LGA, \u201din their ignoble mission to kidnap people.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Command immediately dispatched a nearby team of crack operatives to the location to repel the attackers and an exchange of fire ensued, where two of the bandits were neutralized and two AK 47 assault rifles recovered.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe command is not unmindful of the security challenges, particularly around the Birnin Gwari axis.<\/p>\n
\u201dAlongside the state government and other security agencies, the command is working to contain bandits.<\/p>\n
\u201dThis is to ensure that the sanctity of human life is adequately protected at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n
He explained that the recent successes recorded by the command and other sister agencies attest to the fact that \u201dno effort is spared in prosecuting the war against criminal elements.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jalige said the Commissioner of Police (CP), Mr Yekini Ayoku, has called on all stakeholders and communities concerned to exercise restraint.<\/p>\n
He reiterated, \u201dsecurity is undoubtedly everybody\u2019s business, but unguarded communication has the potential to mar the ongoing concerted efforts being made to reduce the negative impact of these challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201dThis is to enable farmers to make maximum use of this farming season to boost the economy of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
