The Kaduna State government has said that at about 9.44am on Wednesday, it received a distress call of armed bandits attacking Sabon Layi village in Birnin
Samuel Aruwan, Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, said it was further confirmed that the bandits were shooting, rustling cattle, looting properties and committing other heinous crimes, a situation which led to residents scampering for safety.
“Immediately, the Air Component of Operation Whirl Punch was contacted for action, and the unit responded promptly to the location. “On arrival at Sabon Layi, a thorough scan revealed normal human activities at the reported location. However, about four kilometers North of Sabon Layi village, the bandits were sighted fleeing for cover from the aircraft,” he said.
