Mr. John Enenche, in a statement, said the operation was executed, sequel to reports that bandits carrying sophisticated weapons, mounted on motorcycles, had rustled a large number of cattle and other livestock from Dankolo and Machitta Villages.
Enenche, a Major General and Coordinator of the Defence Media Operations (DMO), said the bandits and the rustled livestock were subsequently spotted by a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft on reconnaissance mission at Kaboru Village.
It was gathered that the criminals were heading towards Kwiambana Forest.
“The Air Component therefore dispatched a NAF attack helicopter to the location which engaged the target area, leading to the neutralization of several of the bandits,” he said.
