NAF Ground Forces Secure Zamfara
Communities
In response to reports that high profile armed bandits were
gathering around Rafi and Doka villages of Mada District in Gusau
Local Government Area (LGA) of Zamfara State, which is under the
Area of Responsibility (AOR) of the 207 Quick Response Group (207
QRG), a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Special Forces (SF) Team was
dispatched to the area on 16 April 2019, to secure the two
settlements and thwart the bandits’ plans.

Upon arrival at the location, the NAF SF Team encountered
resistance in the form of heavy gunfire from the bandits. However,
the brave SF personnel employed superior tactics to outlast the
bandits, who were soon low on ammunition, before engaging and
overpowering them.

Two bandits were neutralized in the process while others fled
with gunshot wounds. Since then, the SF Team has been conducting
aggressive patrols in the area, especially the fringes of the
forest, to forestall any reprisal attack.

The NAF, along with sister Services and other security agencies,
will sustain the operations to flush the bandits out of the
Northwest of the Country.
