A notorious bandit and ruthless killer, Boderi Isyaku has been neutralized alongside some of his fighters by troops of the Nigerian Army in a gun duel around Bada/Riyawa general areas of Chikun and Igabi Local Government Areas.
This feat was confirmed to the Kaduna State Government by security forces carrying out internal security operations and diligent checks from human intelligence sources.
Boderi, as he was simply known, had for nearly a decade propagated a reign of fear, destruction, and death in Kaduna State and neighboring Niger State, with a trademark of brutal attacks, mass abductions, and cruel relentless killing.
According to the Nigerian Army, his elimination comes as a result of a culmination of tireless efforts by dedicated troops committed to restoring peace and security in the region.
The General Officer Commanding 1 Division Nigerian Army, and Force Commander, Operation Whirl Punch, Major General Victor Okoro, coordinated the operation through meticulous planning and intelligence.
