Nigeria’s military has killed more than 65 members of criminal gangs known locally as bandits, a security report said on Sunday.
The operation took place in Zamfara State, where police on Saturday confirmed a mass kidnapping earlier in the week.
Police said armed gangs carried out raids on several communities on Thursday night, resulting in a “mass” abduction of villagers, although no official figures were provided.
Residents, however, said about seven people were killed and around 150 others abducted when large numbers of heavily armed men attacked six villages in Bukkuyum Local Government Area.
