Several other bandits, he claims, were eliminated in the same air and ground offensive cycle.

Maikwandaraso is close to Karshi village and shares borders with the infamous Kawara and Malul forests, both of which are located in the same Igabi LGA and have been identified as a hotbed of bandit camps and hideouts.

According to the Commissioner, Governor Nasir el-Rufai was ecstatic when he received word of the military’s valor in defeating the bandits.
