The Department of State Services (DSS) and the military have degraded about 45 bandits around Kuchi town in Munya LGA of Niger State.
The operation, which was carried out secretly, marked yet another victory in the sustained offensives against bandits in the area.
Security sources revealed that, the DSS had with clear precision followed the trail of the bandits and prevented an invasion on the villages to orchestrate massive attacks, planned by kingpin Dogo Gide, and other bandits loyal to him.
According to the sources, intelligence diligently acquired from the agency’s renewed covert efforts revealed that the terrorists who were from Bilbis forest, Maru LGA of Zamfara State and some parts of Kaduna State were invited by Gide to attack villages in the Kuchi area.
