Troops of the Nigerian Army have foiled an attack by
some bandits on Sabon Birni community in Igabi Local Government
Area of Kaduna State
This is according to the State Commissioner of Internal Security
and Home Affairs, Mr. Samuel Aruwan who said the foiled attack was
based on information obtained from the military.
Speaking when he led heads of security agencies to Sabon Birni
on a confidence-building meeting with the locals on Sunday, Aruwan
commended the troops for successfully foiling the coordinated
attacks by bandits on Saturday night.

Landmine Attack
Last week, no fewer than 11 people were killed in the Sabon
Birnin community of Igabi local government area of Kaduna
state.
Having had a field day in the first attack, the bandits staged a
comeback on Saturday night, but this time, they were repelled by
troops of the Nigerian Army, some of them escaping with bullet
wounds from the troops’ superior firepower.
However, despite the foiled attack by soldiers, residents of the
area are yet to overcome the shock and are therefore demanding more
security personnel to the community.
During the meeting with the community leaders drawn from the
Sabon Birnin general area, the commissioner solicited their support
and cooperation for troops and all the personnel working in the
fight against banditry and kidnapping, noting that it is only
through such collaboration with security agencies that the war will
be won.
