A field report by UN-affiliated experts states that Nigerian forces have killed at least 95 armed men from so-called “bandit” gangs during intense clashes and airstrikes in Niger State, northwestern Nigeria, earlier this week.
Ground and air forces thwarted an attempted attack by an armed group near the villages of Warari and Ragada in the Rijau area, resulting in the deaths of dozens of militants and one government soldier.
These gangs are notorious for raiding villages, looting, imposing “taxes” on residents, and carrying out kidnappings for ransom—exploiting poverty and government neglect in rural areas.
It is worth noting that the Nigerian army has recently revised its communication strategy to avoid disclosing sensitive information that could benefit armed groups.
