The Nigerian Military has commenced a seven-day operation with the codename operation Whirl Stroke, OPWS to clear Benue, Nasarawa and Taraba States of bandits activities.

This was disclosed by a Military source in Makurdi, the Benue State Capital.

The source said the operation was sequel to the incessant bandits’ operations in some Communities across the  States, which had resulted in the death of so many people.

It disclosed that the clearance operation covered some Islands behind NASME Barracks in Makurdi and Gbajimba in Guma Local Government Area of Benue State, where it is  believed  that the  bandits, who normally come from Nasarawa State, had their  hideouts, from where they launch attacks on innocent  people.
