By Ibrahim HassanWuyo
Contrary to claims that many were killed by bandits in an attack by bandits along Kaduna-Abuja road, the state government has said that 2 people were killed in the attack.
The Kaduna State Government,however, said it was grateful for the operational feedback it received from the military on the successful rescue of nine persons on Sunday after their kidnapping, on the Akilubu-Gidan Busa axis of Kaduna-Abuja Road.
Samuel Aruwan:

“There is indeed presence of troops at strategic locations on the route, comprising Operation Thunder Strike (OPTS), a response of the Defence Headquarters with both ground and air components, having operational headquarters (with a functional helipad) at Kateri town.
“There is also a team from the Inspector General of Police (Operation Puff Adder) with two outfits (Special Tactical Squad and Intelligence Response Team) complementing operations with technical support.
“Despite yesterday’s setback, Kaduna State Government will continue to support and encourage security operatives on the frontlines as they work to protect citizens and their right to live and travel in peace.
“The Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai appreciates the security personnel who have continued to show deep patriotism and uncommon bravery in tackling security challenges in the State.
“Malam Nasir El-Rufai also commends communities and critical stakeholders that have been supportive in this challenging time.
“The Government of Kaduna State will continue to provide citizens with updates on the security situation.”
