I love Nigerian churches, where pastors pause their sermons every Sunday to call out single people. Things get personal fast!

Military Air Strike Kills '20 Bandits, Five Vigilantes' in Zamfara

The Nigerian army has reportedly killed over 20 bandits in a coordinated air strike in Maraya and Wabi villages, Maru LGA of Zamfara state.

The operation, which took place on Saturday, also resulted in the deaths of five vigilante members due to their failure to comply with withdrawal orders.

According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, the air strike was followed by a ground exploitation mission on June 1 by troops of Operation Fansan Yanma.

Makama said the mission confirmed the neutralisation of over 20 bandits and the destruction of several motorcycles and other equipment.

“Unfortunately, five vigilante members were killed, while two others sustained injuries and are currently receiving treatment in the hospital. A few others sustained minor injuries and did not require hospitalisation,” the publication said.

The leader of the vigilante group has taken “full responsibility” for the casualties, admitting that some members disregarded instructions to withdraw from the outskirts of the village before the air strike.

“He admitted that despite being informed of the imminent air operation, some of the vigilante youths insisted on pursuing the fleeing bandits and were still within the target area when the aircraft struck,” the publication added.

In February, a Nigerian Air Force fighter jet killed six members of a family following an air strike targeting armed gangs in Katsina state.

Sources told TheCable that the jet dropped a bomb on a cluster of huts on Saturday, on the outskirts of Zakka village, in Safana district.
