The Nigerian Army Forces have neutralised scores of bandits, including Ibrahim Kachalla, a notorious bandit kingpin and one of the most dangerous bandit leaders in Kaduna.
Kachalla had commanded a group carrying out banditry, kidnappings and killings in Kafuna, Katsina, Zamfara and parts of Niger Republic.
His gang was believed to have killed the seven personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), who were ambushed and killed by bandits in Kaduna State while on official duty, last week.
Sources said that the deceased criminal, whose corpse has gone viral in the social media, was one of those killed by the troops as they repelled an attack in Kankami village in Kaduna State.
