He stated that the bandits and terrorists attacked some villages around Nasko in Magama on Saturday and rustled a large number of cattle.<\/p>\n

He added that the police sent for reinforcement and military operatives and vigilantes joined in combing the area.<\/p>\n

He explained that a two-hour fierce gun battle later ensued on the Ibeto cattle route while the hoodlums were trying to escape with the cattle.<\/p>\n

Items recovered at the scene included one AK-47 magazine with 30 rounds of live ammunition, seven telephone handsets and one Honda motorcycle.<\/p>\n

The spokesman solicited the cooperation of residents in ridding the state of banditry and other crimes.<\/p>\n
