TROOPS, this morning, repelled an attack by bandits who stormed Sabon Tasha GRA in Chikun Local Government Area.
It was gathered that the criminals fled when soldiers responded to a distress call.
The armed gang had initially set a house on fire after failing in its mission to abduct the owner.
Sources said that the bandits invaded the community around 12:30 am but soldiers intervened shortly after.
They reportedly engaged the soldiers in a shootout but eventually bowed to the superior firepower of the troops.
