The Kebbi State Police Command, in collaboration with military forces and other security agencies, successfully foiled an attack by suspected Lakurawa bandits at Tungan Babu Lada village in Bunza Local Government Area. The attackers, who had shot and killed a local man named Usman Ferungu and stolen cattle, were intercepted by joint security forces shortly after the incident. The police received reports of the attack and swiftly organized a response to apprehend the assailants.

During their pursuit, the security team, led by the Divisional Police Officer of Kangiwa Division, successfully tracked down the fleeing bandits at Garin Mayo Mine. A violent confrontation ensued, during which one of the suspected bandits was killed, and four motorcycles allegedly used in the crime were seized. The operation has been hailed as a significant disruption of the criminal activities plaguing the region, emphasizing the collaborative efforts of police and military units in addressing security challenges.

This incident highlights the ongoing struggle against banditry and cattle rustling in Nigeria, particularly in Kebbi State, where such attacks have become increasingly common. Authorities continue to emphasize the need for joint security operations to effectively combat these threats and ensure the safety of local communities. The response from the police not only aims to recover stolen property but also to deter future criminal undertakings in the region.
