Nigerian forces have neutralised at least 45 armed bandits near Kuchi town in Munya Local Government Area of Niger State following a coordinated security operation.

Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in the Lake Chad region, made this known in a post on his X on Wednesday.

According to the report, Makama disclosed that the operation was tly executed by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and military tactical units in the early hours of Monday.

Makama stated that the bandits were believed to be loyal to notorious terrorist Dogo Gide, adding that the terrorists were en route to launch coordinated attacks on communities around Kuchi before they were intercepted.

“The insurgents, estimated to be over 100 in number, had mobilised from Bilbis Forest in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara and other hideouts in Kaduna State,” Makama said, citing a source who requested anonymity.


He added that the security forces engaged the bandits in a fierce gun battle at the outskirts of Kuchi, resulting in the elimination of no fewer than 45 of the assailants, with several others escaping with gunshot wounds.

The operation also led to the recovery of multiple motorcycles, arms, and ammunition.

However, five DSS operatives sustained injuries during the exchange and are currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed medical facility.

I mean


If the Nigerian Army and other forces want to really end every form of insecurity, it would take even less than a week

But as the whole situation is now politicsised and used for self-enrichment, that's the problem


If Military takes over,there would be a drastic end to all these terrorism and banditry brouhaha

I wonder why this issue of boko haram and all forms of terrorist acts in this country cannot be dealt with speedily and decisively. Why is it taking the army and authorities so many years to sort out this matter once and for all?

By now, most of our political leaders, especially those from the north should be completely ashamed of themselves. Those who stand accused of sponsoring or ing them should be rightly charged and if possible capital punishment prescribed.

I wonder how we have been at this issue for so many years, with trillions wasted fictitiously on equipments and shared by the corrupt, who even cannot return to their villages anymore. Governors, of the NASS, ministers, and leaders of of Northern extraction should bow their faces in shame. If your citizens are daily murdered for nothing in cold blood, yet you are in position of power, you must vacate.

Would such rascality and wickedness be tolerated in European and Asian countries, while leaders swindle the state and look the other way? While the irresponsible leaders ferry their family abroad for safety, they seem to use corruptly acquired funds to keep them there, while making the military suffer.

Again, military personnel found to be sabotaging efforts to fix this wickedness, must be made to face the law and capital punishment. If there’s strong desire to end these acts of terrorism, it can be achieved in less than one year. How can non state actors be better equipped and in most cases appear more powerful than the nation’s armed forces? How can non state actors overrun military barracks with ease and precision, leaving many soldiers dead?

BAT must tackle this matter once and for all. Politics must be set aside. Those marauding herdsmen who chase citizens away from their lands and farms must be dealt a final blow. Hunger is now at its peak and with no farms to go to, how can we succeed with the fight to get food to tables? How many lives must be lost before we an have some sanity in the nation?

This nonsense must be put to an end quickly please.

No mind them. If they could film themselves claiming to be fighting Boko Haram in a war-like scenario, how come they don't have a single photo or video evidence? Only the gullible can be fooled with this folktale
