Reports from eoninteligence says Niger Republic have rescued 9 Nigerian Soldiers who escaped a bandit attack from Gatawa forest in Sokoto, Northwest Nigeria.
This development followed an attack led by Kachalla Turji on a military formation in Gatawa made up of 17 Nigerian Security operatives comprising nine soldiers, five police mobile forces, and three NSCDC personnel.
Eons Intelligence gathered that Kachalla Turji has relocated his bandit camp from Fakai in Zurmi of Zamfara to East of Isa, Tozai in Sokoto over incessant air raids of Nigeria Air Force from Katsina.
