Military jets carried out bombardments in Zamfara state on Tuesday.
KANO: Nigerian military jets have carried out air strikes on a gathering of bandit militias, killing around 100 gunmen in the country’s northwest, two army sources with knowledge of the operation and local residents said.
Northwestern and central Nigerian states have for years been terrorised by gangs, known locally as bandits, who raid villages and kill and abduct residents for ransom in rural areas where state presence is weak. “Fighter jets conducted air strikes on bandits, I’m sure more than 100 were killed and almost twice that number were badly injured,” one of the military officers involved in the operation said.Both spoke to AFP anonymously because they were not authorised to speak about the operation.
