Security forces in Nigeria killed at least 30 members of an armed criminal gang that has terrorised communities in the north, police said on Saturday.
Police in Zamfara state, working alongside local civil security units, said they had launched “clearance operations” this week after bandits attempted to attack the town of Bukkuyum.
“Following the engagement, more than 30 bodies believed to be those of neutralised bandits were reportedly discovered in surrounding farmlands,” they said in a statement.
