According to him, a painstaking check with credible human intelligence sources further confirmed that Boderi and his terror group had a bad day at the hands of the combat-ready troops.
He said, “The troops engaged the bandits around the Tollgate general area of Chikun local government area. The bandits scrambled in retreat, only to run into another ambush laid by the troops in Sabon Gida general area which subdued them.
“Corpses and weapons were recovered at the scene, while some of the terrorists eventually died from bullet wounds.
“Boderi’s deadly second in command, one Musti, was among those identified to have been eliminated, alongside one Yellow Mai-Madrid and one Dan-Katsinawa, with others yet to be identified. Some of the terrorists are battling with life-threatening wounds,” he said.
Samuel Aruwan said that Musti and Boderi were responsible for the security breach at the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna and kidnappings of students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanization, the Emir of Bungudu and several other citizens last year.
The Commissioner said that the Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai hailed the troops for the commendable feat under the leadership of the General Officer Commanding, One Division, Major General T.A. Lagbaja, being the latest of notable breakthroughs recorded since he took command.
Aruwan assured that the Kaduna State Government will keep the public updated on further developments.
He called on citizens with useful information regarding the bandits reported to be seeking medical attention in the general area and elsewhere, to bring such information forward via the following numbers: 09034000060, 08170189999.
