Several armed bandits have been neutralised by the air component of Operation Thunder Strike as they attempt to move hundreds of rustled livestock in the Kuzo area of Kaduna state. According to a signed statement by the Coordinator Defence Media Operations, Maj General John Enenche, the feat was achieved when a Nigerian Air Force (NAF)attack helicopter on armed reconnaissance mission in the area, spotted the bandits, along with the rustled livestock, in an open patch along the East-West Axis of the Forest on 7 November, 2020. Indications from the defence authorities further revealed that the helicopter strafed the target area leading to the neutralization of several of the bandits.
