The Air Component of Operation Whirl Punch has attacked bandits’ hideouts in Kidandan, Giwa LGA of Kaduna State, which has been confirmed as the hideout of a banditry kingpin, Alhaji Ganai.

Commissioner for Internal Security and Homes Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, on Sunday said several of the criminals were killed in the strike.

He explained that the hideout of a bandit, Ali Kawaje, in Birnin Gwari LGA was similarly destroyed, as well as those of Musa Pajelo and Kachalla Bello.

“Targets were also engaged and destroyed in Walawa area, Fadaman Kanauta and Kuduru.
