He said, already troops of the Nigerian Army and Air Force launched offensive attacks against the bandits and in the process, killed many of them.
Another source also said that the bandits launched the attacks in what seemed like revenge against the villagers who they accused of providing information to security agencies which resulted in the killing of their members in previous weeks.
As at the time of filing this report, the military is still carrying out offensive attacks on camps occupied by the bandits inside the thick forests within Giwa, Birnin Gwari and Igabi local government areas.
Also, several calls to Kaduna Police Public Relations Officer were not picked as he had declined response to text message sent to him.
