“These locations spanned Birnin Gwari, Giwa, Igabi and Chikun local government areas.
“As contained in the operational feedback to the Kaduna State Government, most of the locations covered appeared calm with no threats observed. This was confirmed by ground troops at Sabon Birni and Dogon Dawa.
“However, bandits on motorcycles were spotted just northwest of Saulawa, on an exit track from the town. They were duly engaged and neutralised. Herds of cattle observed in the vicinity were also engaged.
“Governor Nasir El-Rufai received the feedback with gratitude, commending the troops and crews for sustaining the tempo of operations.
“Ground and air patrols will continue in the general area and other locations of interest across the state.”
