The Sokoto State Police Command killed a suspected bandit and paraded fifteen suspected terrorists arrested from different operations.
Police authorities in the North-West state said sophisticated weapons including a General Purpose Machine gun and three AK-47 rifles and large caches of ammunition were recovered from the suspects.
While parading the suspects at the Command Headquarters on Thursday, the Sokoto State Police Commissioner Hayatu Kaigama said the neutralised bandit was killed during a gun battle with a group of terrorists in the Gwadabawa Local Government Area of the state.
Police authorities in the state also arrested a suspected terrorist who benefitted from a recent amnesty programme in one of the states of the North-West as well as a suspect who allegedly specialises in treating bullet wounds of fellow terrorists.
Two operational vehicles of the terrorists were recovered as the police said they are trailing fleeing bandits to ensure they are brought to face the law.
