A joint team of police officers, troops of 17 Brigade, and C-Watch repelled bandits in a heavy firefight around Dan Sarai axis, Malumfashi Local Government Area of Katsina State last night, security sources said.
According to security analyst Bakatsine, the bandits who were operating around Malumfashi LGA were ambushed by the joint security team.
