Three Dead As Bauchi Police Comb Bandit’s Hideouts

The Bauchi State Police Command has said that its operatives have killed two suspected bandits terrorising the Ningi Local Government Area of the state and an informant during a raid on their hideouts.

New Telegraph had earlier reported that there have been incessant kidnappings in Ningi LGA while insecurity has persisted, especially among peasant farmers who are now afraid of going to their farms.

Speaking on the development while fielding questions from journalists, the newly posted Commissioner of Police, CP Auwal Musa Muhammed said security personnel have been mobilized to affected communities while the Police continue to remain on alert.

He, however, did not disclose when the operation took place and the number of others arrested.
He said, “I’m very much aware that an arrest has been made, and the Joint Task Force that is being supported by the state government killed two of the bandits and they were able to get about 2 informants while one was unfortunately killed as well.”

Speaking further on the notorious Sara-Suka group who have also been terrorising the residents in the state, the CP said all hands are on deck to curtail their nefarious activities.

Earlier at the press briefing, Muhammad promised that “the Police shall continue to maintain and strengthen collaborative partnership with all sister security agencies and community stakeholders to ensure community security and to proactively deal with emerging security threats to the state.”

He added that the Police will collaborate with the judiciary, as well as the ministry of justice with the view to facilitate proper prosecution of all criminal cases.
