In a major breakthrough against armed criminal gangs, at least 15 suspected bandits and kidnappers were neutralised by combined security forces in a late-night operation along the Kogi–Kwara border.
The raid, which followed Sunday’s attack on Oke Ode community, erupted into a fierce gun battle on Monday night as troops stormed the criminals’ hideouts.
Security sources revealed that the joint team sustained heavy firepower, ensuring the bandits were overpowered and their camps dismantled.
Authorities say more targeted strikes are underway to dismantle criminal networks and reassure residents of improved safety across the troubled axis.
