Moreover, according Major General John Eneche, the Media Coordinator of the Nigerian Army in a statement on Monday, 4 of the armed bandits were also reportedly arrested during two daring raids at identified bandits’ camps.

Revealing the details of the operation, Eneche said the operation was carried out on Sunday at Guma in Benue State and Keana in Nasarawa State, where a dawn raid was conducted at identified armed bandits’ camp at Guma forest along the Benue-Nasarawa border, following actionable intelligence reports on the location of the camp.

Similarly, troops also conducted another dawn raid on another suspected armed bandits’ hideout at Tse Agi in the general area of Benue state.

The hideout was subsequently destroyed while the suspects are currently being profiled after which they will be handed over to the appropriate prosecuting agency for further action.

In total, the troops recovered 2 AK-47 rifle, 3 AK-47 rifle magazine, one locally made pistol, 46 rounds of 7.62 mm special ammunition 3 mobile phones at the scene while the camp was subsequently destroyed.
