Nigeria, Oct. 21 -- The Nigerian Army says a joint task force, including its operatives, has raided a bandits' camp in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State, recovering arms and ammunition.

The spokesperson for Operation Enduring Peace, Samson Zhakon, disclosed this in a Facebook statement on Monday.

Mr Zhakom, a major, said the troops raided Rawaya, a village where a bandit kingpin operates close to Kazok in Barkin Ladi LGA, where a cache of weapons was stockpiled.

Although the suspect fled before soldiers arrived at his hideout, a search led to the recovery of weapons.

According to the army, two AK-47 rifles, one G3 rifle, a revolver pistol, four AK-47 rifle magazines, and three G3 rifle magazines were found.
