Security Intelligence, in joint efforts with Militia Joint Task Force, have neutralized 3 bandits kingpins in the North West on April 26, 2024.
The kinglings included; Kachillaha Mati, Jammo Bak, and one other ex-police personnel, Kachallah Yada, as well as several other fighters in Tidibale in Gangara villages of ISA and Sabon Birnin LG Zamfara State.
Jammo was very dangerous and ruthless to the extent that he forced the community to give him a Chieftency title.
On the other hand, Kachallah Yadda, who was an Ex- police officer, is in charge of training the bandit on weapons handling as well as illicit arms trafficking.
The suyanisation of the three terrorists was a huge blow to the bandits in Zamfara state and a relief to the people of the North West.
This also got to show that the initiative of the Zamfara state government in collaboration with the security forces since it vowed to never negotiate with bandits, but to crush them by any means is yielding positive results.
The recruitment of the Civilian Joint Task Force, popularly known as Askarawa, to go after the bandits in their enclaves and their hideouts was a major game changer.
Just like in the case of the North East, the worst Nightmare of the Bandits are the “Askarawa” or Yansakai as they are popularly called. This was because they have the knowledge of the terrain and know the bandits who have in the past operated openly with impunity.
The Askarawa’s within the past few months have captured and killed hundreds of bandits, their informants, and collaborators. They have also recovered thousands of livestock rustled by the bandits as well as rescued dozens of abducted victims.
This was why the pressure mounted on the bandits in both military, air, and ground offensives is forcing them to beg for “Negotiations” through several videos on social media.
