Police Repel Bandit Attack in Kaduna, Kill Two Suspects, Recover Arms

The Kaduna State Police Command says it has repelled an attempted bandit attack in Giwa Local Government Area, killing two suspected bandits and recovering firearms and ammunition.

Police said the operation followed credible intelligence indicating that armed bandits were planning to attack Idisu village in Bayan Kogi ward. Intelligence revealed the group, allegedly led by a notorious kingpin identified as Kachalla Sanusi Bajira, was mobilising after residents refused to pay an illegal levy.

According to the Command’s spokesperson, DSP Mansir Hassan, the Commissioner of Police ordered operatives of the anti-kidnapping unit, in collaboration with the Civilian Joint Task Force, to move into the area.

On arrival, the security team encountered the bandits who had set an ambush, leading to a gun battle. Police operatives overpowered the attackers, killing two suspects, while others escaped into nearby bushes.

Two firearms and five rounds of live ammunition were recovered during the operation.

The Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Muhammad, commended the operatives for their professionalism and assured residents of continued intelligence-led operations against banditry, kidnapping, and other violent crimes. He warned that Kaduna State will not serve as a safe haven for criminals.
