The Governor described the renewed military onslaught as timely, particularly the successes recorded over the weekend which disrupted a significant gathering of notorious bandit leaders while several commanders were also killed
A press statement signed by the Governor’s Spokesperson Suleiman Bala Idris says the people of Kaura Namoda and Birnin Magaji Local Government Areas celebrated the troops over the successes recorded
The bandit leaders according to the statement were killed through a precision airstrike on the identified location while holding a strategic meeting to launch deadly attack on innocent citizens around the Zamfara North Senatorial Zone

During the operation, three gang leaders where killed, a cache of weapons, ammunition, including an AK-47 rifle, a machine gun, a locally fabricated handgun, seven rifle magazines, and a total of 571 rounds of ammunition were recovered
