A team of security operatives of the Nigerian Army has neutralised a wanted notorious bandit nicknamed Mai-Nasara at Sangeko forest in Kebbi State.
The team also arrested five other suspected bandits believed to be members of the same gang.
Ahmed Idris, the chief press secretary to Kebbi State governor, disclosed this in a statement in Birnin Kebbi on Tuesday.
Mr Idris reported Abdulrahman Usman, Director, Security at the Cabinet Office, Birnin Kebbi, as revealing the success story.
While applauding the efforts of the security personnel in fighting crimes and criminalities, especially in the southern part of Kebbi, Mr Usman appealed to people to give the personnel all the necessary support and cooperation to succeed.
“Your support and cooperation are highly necessary for the security agencies to achieve the desired goal of flushing out criminals and restoring peace and normalcy in our land.
“Security is supposed to be everybody’s business; therefore, people should endeavour to assist the security agencies in all ramifications, especially with credible intelligence towards successful combats,” the director pleaded.
