Acting on credible intelligence, the Dandume Divisional Police Officer led a swift joint operation at about 0415hrs on April 10, 2025, ambushing bandits along the Dutsen Wori axis of Dandume LGA. The daring engagement resulted in the elimination of five armed bandits and the seizure of seven motorcycles (4 Honda, 3 Boxer) used in their terror campaigns.
In a follow-up operation hours later at 0700hrs in Danmusa LGA, another joint task force comprising police operatives, DSS agents, Katsina State Community Watch Corps (KSCWC), and local vigilantes dislodged a bandits’ hideout at Unguwar Adam and Unguwar Judo villages. The team arrested three suspected informants and recovered two motorcycles and two bicycles from the scene.
While efforts are underway to track fleeing suspects, CP Bello Shehu praised the dedication, bravery, and cooperation of all security partners involved. “These operations reaffirm our unwavering commitment to flushing out banditry and restoring peace to Katsina State,” the CP declared.
The police boss emphasized that under his leadership, the Command will remain relentless in its mission to safeguard lives and property across the state.
