In the continuation of Operation SHARAN DAJI, troops of the 1 Division of the Nigerian Army have intensified clearance operations against suspected armed bandits and livestock rustlers within its area of responsibility.
In line with this, the troops have within the last three days destroyed several armed bandits and livestock rustlers camps and motorcycles in Bungudu and Maru Local Government Areas of Zamfara State.
They neutralized nine armed bandits and livestock rustlers during the operations within the area.
Similarly, they arrested two suspected armed bandits, Awidi Mohammed and Mummuni Mohammed, and recovered stolen 292 cows, 44 rams and 17 donkeys from them.
