Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force in Kaduna State have neutralised two notorious bandits in the Giwa Local Government Area of the State.

According a statement released by DSP Mohammed Jalige, Public Relations Officer of the Kaduna State Police Command, the bandits were killed while attempting to abduct some rural farmers working on their farms at Timburku village of Galadimawa ward in Giwa Local Government Area on Saturday, July 23rd.

He addes that the DPO of Kidandan Division received intelligence information that some armed bandits have kidnapped an unspecified number of farmers working on their farm at Timburku village, and immediately, a detachment of Police Operation Restore Peace were deployed to the area, who engaged the bandits in a fierce gun duel.

DSP Jalinge further noted that the superior fire power of the police operatives led to the killing of two of the bandits, while the victims were rescued unhurt.

The Kaduna state Commissioner of Police, Yekini Ayoku enjoined the general public to always confide in the force and other sister security agencies to promptly report any distress situation as he assures them of speedy and effective response.
