Nigerian military kills dozens of armed men suspected to be involved in the kidnapping of schoolchildren for ransom
Nigerian forces have killed 78 gunmen, known locally as bandits, during military operations including air strikes in northwestern Zamfara state, the air force said.
The bandits were tracked to "extensive and well concealed camps with numerous huts" that were destroyed by the air force, the statement added, "in liaison with ground troops forming blocking forces around the targeted areas of the forest."The air force used the Alpha Jet fighter and attack helicopters to bombard the bandit camp, the statement said.
Violence linked to these groups is just one of the challenges facing President Muhammadu Buhari's security forces, who are also battling a more than decade-long militant insurgency in the northeast and separatist agitation in the southeast.
