Security forces in Kebbi State have successfully thwarted a bandit attack in Zodi Village, Zuru Local Government Area, highlighting ongoing efforts to curb violent crimes in the region.
On 29 November 2025, a group of armed bandits invaded Zodi Village, seizing an unspecified number of livestock. Responding swiftly, personnel from No. 36 Squadron of the Police Mobile Force (PMF) engaged the attackers in sporadic gunfire. The operation led to the neutralisation of several bandits, while others fled into the forest with gunshot injuries.
A subsequent search by the security team resulted in the recovery of 96 cows, 45 sheep, and two motorcycles. The livestock were handed over to the village head of Zodi to be returned to their rightful owners, while the motorcycles were submitted to the Divisional Police Officer in Zuru for investigation and identification of owners.
CSP Nafi’u Abubakar Kotarkoshi, Police Public Relations Officer, praised the prompt response of the officers, noting that the operation successfully disrupted the bandits’ activities and restored peace to the community.
This latest success underscores the continued vigilance of security forces in Kebbi State amid persistent threats from armed groups in the region.
