Soldiers from the Nigerian Army have successfully stopped a bandit attack in Chanchanji, a community in Taraba State. The attack, which happened on November 13, 2024, was said to be a revenge attack by the bandits after 12 suspects were arrested in the area a few days earlier.
The soldiers had previously caught 12 people accused of kidnapping and recovered several items, including 14 motorcycles, a gun, and bags of illegal drugs on November 9.
When the bandits attacked on November 13, the soldiers fought back and forced them to flee. One bandit was killed during the fight, and the soldiers were able to recover several weapons, including an AK-47 rifle, two magazines, and special ammunition.
