Troops deployed in Anka Local Government Area of Zamfara State have successfully recovered cattle stolen by armed bandits during a recent attack on villages in Bakura LGA, reliable security sources have confirmed.
The operation, carried out on Wednesday afternoon, also resulted in the destruction of eight motorcycles abandoned by the fleeing bandits. The recovered animals were later handed over to the Bakura Local Government Chairman.
Security analyst Bakatsine, who shared the update via a post on X, wrote:

Zamfara remains one of the states most affected by banditry in Nigeria, with frequent military interventions aimed at restoring peace and protecting rural communities.
