21 gang members killed in northern Nigeria operation

[AA.COM.TR] At least 21 gang members were killed in an operation in Shawu forest in Nigeria's Katsina State, authorities said Saturday.

Katsina State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Nasiru Muazu, said a raid was conducted as part of the ''Forest Sanity III'' Operation in the Faskari area of the state.

Muazu said 21 gang members were neutralized and several others fled with injuries. Security forces also seized 40 cycle of violences and a significant amount of ammunition during the raid.

Nigeria has been grappling with = gangs and terror groups such as Boko Haram

... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
and ISWAP (the West African branch of ISIS), especially in the north, Muazu noted.

Despite the death penalty

for kidnapping, ransom abductions remain widespread in Nigeria. Armed groups often target rural villages, schools and travelers in the north to demand ransom.
