The Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said troops, in a shootout, have killed scores of bandits around the tollgate general area in Chikun Local Government Area of the state.
The Commissioner said in a statement on Saturday that among the bandits neutralised by the troops was one Musti, who led last year’s deadly assault on the nation’s foremost military university – the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna.
He said Musti led the daring attack which claimed the lives of two military officers of the institution – Lt. Commander Wulah and Flight Lieutenant Okoronkwo; while one Major Christopher Datong was said to be missing after the attack in the early hours of August 24, 2021.
