The people of Mallamawa and Mazau Villages of Tsamaye/Mai Lalle District, Sabon Birni local government area of Sokoto State burst into jubilation over the killing of three notorious bandit kingpins by troops of the Joint Task Force, Operation FANSAN YAMMA (OPFY).

According to the Media Information Officer of OPFY, Captain David Adewusi, the operation was carried out through an ambush on the bandits in the local government area.

Captain Adewusi explained that, “The operation led to the troops neutralising terrorist kingpins Kachalla Nagomma, Gurmu, and Ali Yar Daribiyar, with three AK-47 rifles, 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.”

Captain David Adewusi added that the successful operation has sparked widespread relief and jubilation among residents of Mai Lalle, Tsamaye, Rimaye, and proximate communities across Sabon Birni and Goronyo local government areas, who have long endured the atrocities of the neutralised terrorists.

Assuring of the troops’ resolve to restore security in the area, 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 appealed to the public to continue to provide timely and actionable information that will not only support the ongoing operations but also guarantee success.
