Troops of the 271 Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Detachment, Birnin Gwari, on Thursday foiled an ambush by armed bandits at Ungwan Yako on the Kaduna-Birnin Gwari Road in Kaduna. This was contained in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja by Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information. Daramola said the gallant troops were able to disperse the over 70 bandits who had laid ambush, killing several in the process. “Unfortunately, one NAF personnel paid the supreme price in the process while some sustained varying degrees of injury. “Abubakar prays that the Almighty grants his soul peaceful repose,’’ the NAF director of public relations and information said.
