The Bauchi State Police Command killed 12 suspected kidnappers and bandits during a raid in Alkaleri Local Government Area of the state.

This is according to a statement made by the Police Public Relations Officer, Ahmad Wakil, on Monday in Bauchi.

He added that the police also recovered weapons and motorcycles from the bandits.

“The hot exchange of superior fire-power by the operatives left 12 of the kidnappers neutralised while others subdued, dislodged, and scampered in disarray into the nearby bushes with possible gunshot wounds and abandoned their camps.

“Consequently, weapons and operational motorcycles had been recovered during the operation,” he said.
