Scores of bandits hibernating in some enclaves situated at Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina State, have fled their hideouts following military airstrikes.
This is just as 62 hostages abducted by the criminals, and have been in the bush for more than one month, took to their heels upon realising that their abductors had fled.
It was learnt that both the air and land troops jointly combed the location — a community bordering Zamfara State on Saturday at about 5:15pm.
