No fewer than 39 armed bandits were said neutralises by soldiers
in two different operations in Zamfara this week, the News Agency
of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
Capt. Oni Orisan, Operation Hadarin Daji spokesman, who
disclosed this to NAN on Saturday said the operations were carried
out in Bakura and Anka axis of the state.
According to him, 19 of the bandits were killed in an encounter
with the army in the bushes of Anka while the 20 were killed in
Bakura.
Orisan reiterated that the soldiers would not attack any
repentant bandit.
He, however, said that those unrepentant ones who carry guns and
move around in large numbers would be treated as hostile.
He advised the unrepentant bandits to surrender their arms to
constituted authorities and embrace the peace initiative of the
state government.
NAN reports that since the beginning of the peace and
reconciliation initiative about five months ago, peace has returned
to many communities.
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai visited the
state recently, promised that the army would continue to work for
the sustenance of peace in the state. (NAN)
