Air strikes neutralize fleeing bandits in Birnin Gwari LGA

At around 9:44am, the Ministry received a distress call of armed bandits attacking Sabon Layi village in Birnin Gwari LGA. 

It was confirmed that the bandits were shooting, rustling cattle, looting properties and committing other heinous crimes, a situation which had residents scampering for safety. 

Immediately, the  Air Component of Operation Whirl Punch was contacted for action, and the unit responded promptly to the location. 

On arrival at Sabon Layi, a thorough scan revealed normal human activities at the reported location. However, about four kilometers North of Sabon Layi village, the bandits were sighted fleeing for cover from the aircraft. They were engaged and neutralized in several passes. 

No further movement was observed after the strike. The aircraft sustained its presence overhead before withdrawing. 

While the government awaits a formal report on the initial attack in Sabon Layi village, Governor Nasir El-Rufai has praised the Air Component for the prompt action, and conveyed his gratitude for neutralizing the fleeing bandits. 

Signed 

Samuel Aruwan 
Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Kaduna State.
