The Nigerian Army has killed a wanted notorious bandit known as Mai-Nasara in Kebbi State's Sangeko Forest.
The team also assassinated two other suspected bandits who were thought to be members of the same gang.
According to a press statement signed by Kebbi State Governor's Chief Press Secretary, Ahmed Aliyu, on Monday.
