Troops of the Operation Hadarin Daji, OPHD, with the joint
efforts of the local vigilante, on Sunday, foiled bandits’ attack at Bula
village of Kaura Namoda Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
According to eyewitnesses, the armed bandits stormed the
community in their large numbers shooting sporadically in the wee hours of
Sunday.
The sources said they were forced back to the forest due to
the superior power of the OPHD troops and the vigilante group.
Brigadier General S Ahmed, commander 1 Brigade Nigerian
Army, Gusau, recalled that there was a similar attack on the community in the
last three weeks.
He added that the troops of the OPHD blocked the exit route
of the bandits, denied them freedom of action and rescued two women and a baby
abducted from the village.
He vowed to sustain the successes recorded by his
predecessor and apply new tactics to professionally eliminate any recalcitrant
bandit within his area of operation.
