The Police Command in Kaduna State says its operatives have neutralized a bandit and recovered one AK-47 rifle with two rounds of live 7.62x39mm ammunition.

The Command Public Relations Officer, DSP Mohammed Jalige, confirmed the development in a statement on Monday in Kaduna.

Jalige said on March 13, operatives of the Command attached to Operation Whirl Punch (OPSWP) acted on credible intelligence indicating that on the same date at about 0645 hrs., bandits on a nefarious mission had blocked the Galadimawa–Tumburku road in the Giwa Local Government Area.

He said the police operatives, led by DPO Kidandan, swiftly mobilized to the scene, engaged the bandits in a gun duel, and countered their heinous raid, which forced them to scamper in disarray into a nearby bush with possible varying gunshot wounds.

Jalige said the state Commissioner of Police (CP), Yekini Ayoku, commended the effort of the operatives.

He said the CP assured members of the public that the Command would continue to be resilient in its determination to ensure that criminal elements are denied the space to carry out their villainous activities.
