Troops of the Nigerian Army in the early hours of Sunday, 13th November, 2022 repelled an attack by dozens of bandits and subsequently neutralized one of the attackers, while others escaped with gunshot wounds at Kankomi, Chikun LGA.
According to reports, the attackers made an attempt to infiltrate the location housing the troops. The vigilant troops in response engaged them in a fierce gun duel which lasted for over an hour.
This resulted in the elimination of one of the terrorists, who was wearing military camouflage combat gear. Others escaped with bullet wounds as bloodstains were seen along their withdrawal route.
The troops recovered one AK-47 rifle, seven AK47 magazines, seven rounds of ammunition and five locally made grenades from the bandits.
Sadly, while exploiting the withdrawal route of the bandits, three corpses were found by the troops, apparently locals killed by the fleeing bandits.
