The Nigerian Military said it has killed at least 135 armed bandits during air-raids across Katsina and Zamfara states on Saturday.
The military said it also neutralised bandit camps.
According to a statement signed by a military spokesman, Major General, John Enenche, the air raids, executed by the air component of Operation Hadarin Daji, took place between May 20 and 22.
Nigeria has witnessed a rise in banditry across the country in recent years , most especially in the north-western states of Zamfara and Katsina.
The military said its air-raids, which are conducted based on credible intelligence reports, are intended to rid the north-west of the armed bandits completely.
