Security forces have recovered 900 rustled animals following a heated exchange of gunfire with notorious bandit leaders at their hideout in Magamin Didi, Maradun Local Government Area of Zamfara State.

Military sources confirmed that Friday’s operation led to the retrieval of approximately 500 sheep and 400 cattle, stolen by bandit kingpins identified as Smally, Bashari Baba, and Jankwado.
