This assault on the Goningora community comes shortly after soldiers eliminated a notorious bandit leader, Boderi Isyaku, along with some of his accomplices in the same Chikun local government area, just a week prior.
Reports indicate that the bandits retaliated by setting a military armoured vehicle ablaze when soldiers attempted to fend them off.
