Jubilation has trailed the neutralization of three notoriously dangerous bandit kingpins in the Eastern axis of Sokoto State by troops of the Joint Task Force Operation FANSAN YAMMA (OPFY).
In a statement made available on Saturday by the Media Information Officer of OPFY, Captain David Adewusi, the successful operation was made possible through deliberate ambush in Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
According to Captain Adewusi, the troop conducted the ambush between Mallamawa and Mazau villages in Tsamaye/Mai Lalle District of Sabon Birni LGA.
He said, “The operation led to the troops neutralising terrorist kingpins Kachalla Nagomma, Gurmu, and Ali Yar Daribiyar with three AK-47 rifles with magazines and a motorcycle recovered.
“The criminals and their foot soldiers were reportedly in the area to collect ransom and levies imposed on the locals when they were intercepted. The successful operation has sparked widespread relief and jubilation among residents of Mai Lalle, Tsamaye, Rimaye, and proximate communities across Sabon Birni and Goronyo LGAs, who have long endured the atrocities of the neutralized terrorists”.
Stating the resolve of the military to restore security, Captain Adewusi reassured that,
“Operation FANSAN YAMMA remains steadfast in its mission to restore peace and security across the North West and parts of the North Central region”.
He therefore appealed to the general public to continue providing timely and actionable information that will not only support the ongoing operations but also guarantee its successes.
