“Their location was identified and consequently engaged by Nigerian Air Force helicopter gunships.


“After the air interdiction, 70 bandits were confirmed killed by human intelligence while others escaped with injuries while exploitation operation is still being carried out by the troops in the forest.


“As a matter of security concern, people in this general area should report those with sudden and suspicious injuries to the security forces.


“This is to ensure that the escapees are mopped up,” he said.


Enenche further disclosed that troops of Operation Yaki in blocking positions for Operation Accord at outskirts of Kankomi village arrested two bandits’ logistics suppliers.


He said that Items such as recharge cards, cigarettes, soft drinks and groceries were recovered.
