Troops of the Joint Task Force Operation Fansan Yamma recorded a significant breakthrough on Friday, successfully neutralizing three notorious terrorist kingpins during a planned ambush in Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
According to Captain David Adewusi, the Media Information Officer of Operation FANSAN YAMMA, the ambush was carried out between Mallamawa and Mazau villages in the Tsamaye/Mai Lalle District of Sabon Birni. The operation resulted in the killing of terrorist leaders Kachalla Nagomma, Gurmu, and Ali Yar Daribiyar. Troops also recovered three AK-47 rifles with magazines and a motorcycle at the scene.
“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,” Adewusi stated.
Operation Fansa Yamma reaffirmed its commitment to restoring peace and security across the North West and parts of the North Central region. The Joint Task Force also encouraged the public to continue sharing timely and actionable intelligence to aid further operations.
