John Enenche, in a<br \/>\nstatement on Monday, said the latest attack took place at the Kusasu<br \/>\nArea of the state on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Enenche said the air raid was in continuation of sustained efforts to<br \/>\nrid Kaduna State and its environs of bandits and other criminal<br \/>\nelements.<\/p>\n<p>He said the hit was achieved following human intelligence reports,<br \/>\ncorroborated by series of aerial surveillance missions that led to the<br \/>\nidentification of the camp of a bandits\u2019 leader, known as Alhaji Labi.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, Labi is an associate of Dogon Gede, a notorious<br \/>\nbandits\u2019 leader in Katsina State.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Air Component subsequently dispatched an appropriate force<br \/>\npackage of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jets and helicopter gunships<br \/>\nto attack the location.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverhead the target area, a significant presence of the bandits, along<br \/>\nwith a large number of rustled cattle, was observed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe attack aircraft took turns in engaging the location, delivering<br \/>\ndevastating hits which destroyed the bandits\u2019 structures, including<br \/>\ntheir logistics storage facilities, which were seen engulfed in flames.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeveral bandits were also killed in the attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Armed Forces of Nigeria and other security agencies remained<br \/>\nresolute in the fight against banditry and other sundry crimes and will<br \/>\nnot relent until normalcy is restored to all troubled zones of the<br \/>\ncountry,\u201d he said.
