Speaker of the Niger State House of Assembly, Hon. Abdulmalik Mohammed Sarkin-Daji, has commended the Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigerian Army, and intelligence -backed and trained security forces for reportedly neutralizing over five dozen bandits in the state.<\/p>\n
The Speaker, who made the commendation on Tuesday, few hours after the security agents neutralized over 50 out of over 300 bandits who attempted to invade Kumbashi village in Mariga Local Government Area of the state, also commended the hybrid security forces.<\/p>\n
The Speaker represents Mairiga constituency in the State House of Assembly.<\/p>\n
Confirming the operational success of the DSS, soldiers and the DSS -trained securitymen, the Speaker said he was reliably informed by his constituents that the security operatives, even though largely outnumbered by the bandits, deployed intelligence and their superior training and firepower to neutralize them.<\/p>\n
“Yes, it is true. The DSS really dealt with the bandits. In fact, so successful were the operatives that my constituents reported seeing the bandits panickedly dismembering corpses of their killed colleagues, loading them in sacks, and hauling them off on motorcycles,” offered the Speaker.<\/p>\n
Following the onslaught against the bandits, continued the Speaker, the security forces were able to rescue seven persons earlier kidnapped by the bandits. He added that several heads of rustled cattle were also recovered from the bandits.<\/p>\n
Recall that the DSS had a few weeks ago, in Wawa, the same Niger State, captured alive Abubakar Abba,
\nleader of Mahmuda, one of the most notorious terror groups in Nigeria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
