Kaduna bandits bow to troops' superior firepower, abandon kidnap mission
Meanwhile, Nigerian soldiers sent packing a gang of bandits who invaded Sabon Tasha GRA in Chikun LGA in Kaduna in the wee hours of Saturday, December 11.
The armed gang which torched a house on fire failed to kidnap the owner after troops responded to distress calls.
It was gathered that the bandits, although engaged the soldiers in a gun duel, later fled upon realising that the troops had superior firepower.
A Chikun resident who identified himself as Benjamin told journalists that the criminals went on a house-to-house raid.
He revealed:
“We thanked God the Soldiers arrived on time, if not the story would have been bad because they came to pick the house owner but fortunately the house was empty and the bandits set the house on fire out of frustration."
