[/b]Troops Capture Notorious Bandit Leader Kachallah Hassan Nabamamu in Zamfara[b]



The Nigerian Army troops of Operation FANSAN YANMA have captured Kachallah Hassan Nabamamu, a notorious bandit kingpin responsible for terrorizing communities in Mada, Tsafe, and other parts of Zamfara State.

Zagazola Makama, a Counter Insurgency Expert and Security Analyst in the Lake Chad Region gathered from security sources that the operation, conducted by troops of Operation FANSAN YANMA, took place on February 27 at Hegin Mahe, Ruwan Bore in Mada town, Gusau Local Government Area.

Troops launched a well-coordinated ambush, leading to a fierce gun battle in which several bandits were neutralized while others escaped with gunshot wounds. The kingpin initially fled into nearby homes but was pursued and captured alive by the security forces.

Hours after his arrest, his gang members, led by Bakin Malam, launched a reprisal attack on Chediya, Bamamu, and Makera villages, issuing threats to dislodge residents if Nabamamu was not released. The attack forced many residents to flee their homes in fear.

However, The Nigerian troops swiftly responded with superior firepower, repelling the bandits and preventing further breach of security. Additional both Air and Land troops were deployed to secure the area and prevent further incursions, while intelligence operations continue to track down fleeing gang members.

Nabamamu, originally from Tsafe, Gidan Alhaji Kaduna, started as an Almajiri before attending Model Primary School, Tsafe. He later relocated to Bamamu village, where he engaged in cattle rearing. For over 30 years, he was involved in armed robbery and later became one of the first Fulani men to openly embrace large-scale banditry in Zamfara.

He first gained notoriety after leading an armed robbery attack on the home of Sani Dan Kyaso, orchestrating multiple murders in the process. Security sources describe him as deadlier than the infamous bandit leader Ado Alero, often warning other criminals such as Dan Isuhu to stay out of his self acclaimed territory.

Nabamamu commanded a large group of fighters, carrying out brutal attacks on villages including Makera, Chediya, Agama Lafiya, Singawa, Yalwa, Rekebu, Fegen Baza, Danmarke, and Sabon Fege, as well as locations near Setraco Company in Tsafe town. His gang was also responsible for numerous kidnappings along the Gusau-Tsafe highway, turning the route into a deadly zone for travelers.

Nabamamu worked closely with other top bandit leaders, including Bakin Malam, Kachallah Mal Tukur, and Kachallah Baldu, controlling at least 100 heavily armed fighters. He imposed millions of naira in levies on villages in Tsafe LGA, ruthlessly punishing communities that failed to pay.

Security sources revealed that Nabamamu had deep ties with weapons traffickers, often securing arms from suppliers linked to foreign terror networks. Intelligence reports indicate that he was involved in coordinating supply chains that provided sophisticated firearms to criminal groups operating in Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, and Niger states.

His gang was also notorious for using informants within local communities to track movements of security forces and high-value kidnap targets. Investigations suggest that he had an extensive financial network, using ransom proceeds to fund operations and maintain strong alliances with other bandit groups.

The arrest of Nabamamu is expected to significantly weaken the operational network of bandit groups in Zamfara. It is believed that dismantling his leadership structure could lead to the rescue of kidnapped victims still held by his gang.

Military operations under Operation FANSAN YANMA have intensified in recent weeks, with coordinated land and air offensives eliminating several high-profile bandits and rescuing hostages from their enclaves in Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, and Kebbi states.

[/b]Troops Eliminate Bandit Leader Hassan Nabamamu While Attempting to Escape in Zamfara[b]



Troops of Operation FANSAN YANMA have neutralized notorious bandit leader Kachallah Hassan Nabamamu, also known as Hassan Dantawaye, after he attempted to escape and disarm a soldier while being transported to Gusau town, Zamfara State.

Zagazola Makama report that Nabamamu, a long-time terror figure in Tsafe and Mada local government areas, was captured during a fierce gun battle in Mada, Tsafe LGA on February 27.

He was being transported from Tsafe to Gusau in the early hours of February 28, when he tried to overpower a soldier, prompting the troops to neutralize him immediately.

Additionally, troops ambushed and killed two other top bandit commanders, Na-Allah and Dogo Basullube, who sustained injuries in combat before succumbing during the military operation.

Bandits Mobilizing for Reprisal Attack in Tsafe

Intelligence reports indicated that a large group of heavily armed bandits has moved out from Danjibga, Keta, and Kwaren Ganuwa forests and is advancing toward Tsafe town, allegedly planning a reprisal attack following Nabamamu’s death.

Military official, who spoke anonymously, assured that the armed forces were fully prepared to repel any assault.

“We have received credible intelligence that one of the bandit commanders, Bakin Malam, is mobilizing fighters for a revenge attack. However, we are ready for them. Tsafe will be their graveyard. We are closing in from all directions, and they won’t see us coming.”

The military has reinforced its presence in Tsafe and surrounding areas, deploying additional troops and air support to counter any insurgent movement.

Nabamamu had long been one of the most feared bandit leaders in Zamfara, orchestrating mass kidnappings, extortions, and deadly attacks on civilians and security forces. He was a known associate of other notorious warlords and reportedly controlled over 100 heavily armed fighters.

Over the years, his gang was responsible for countless attacks on villages along the Gusau-Tsafe highway, including targeted assaults on communities such as Makera, Chediya, Agama Lafiya, Singawa, Yalwa, and Rekebu. He was also linked to the imposition of illegal taxes on communities in Tsafe LGA, forcing residents to pay huge sums under the threat of death.

With his neutralization, security experts believe that bandit operations in Zamfara will suffer a major setback, as he was a key figure coordinating attacks across multiple locations.

The Nigerian military, through Operation FANSAN YANMA, has intensified its operations across Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, and Kebbi states in recent weeks. The coordinated land and air offensive has led to the elimination of several high-profile bandit leaders and the rescue of numerous kidnapped victims.

[/b]TROOPS UNLEASH DEVASTATING ONSLAUGHT, SETTING TERRORISTS IN DISARRAY, RECOVER MASSIVE ARSENAL OF WEAPONS, BOMBS, AMMUNITION[b]

In a relentless and ferocious crackdown on terrorism, gallant troops of the Nigerian Army have once again demonstrated their unyielding resolve to obliterate terrorist enclaves, dealing a devastating blow to their operations. The latest offensives, executed with precision and overwhelming firepower, sent the terrorists into a state of utter disarray, forcing them to abandon a massive cache of arms, ammunition, and explosives as they fled for their lives.

On Saturday, 1 March 2025, troops deployed in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State launched a ruthless and coordinated assault on a well-fortified terrorist stronghold following credible intelligence that insurgents were regrouping to unleash havoc on villages around Fallujah and its environs. The ensuing fierce gun battle raged for hours ppas troops overpowered the terrorists, neutralizing several of them while systematically dismantling explosives laid enroute their camp. In the aftermath of the onslaught, troops recovered an astonishing cache of deadly weapons, including:

- 11 Rocket-Propelled Grenade (RPG) bombs
- 760 rounds of 7.62mm linked ammunition
- 220 rounds of 12.7mm linked ammunition
- One AK-47 rifle
- 440 rounds of 7.62mm x 54mm ammunition

The troops also conducted a thorough clearance operation in Unguwan Abdullahi, a terrorist-infested settlement, where they annihilated all terrorist life-support structures and unearthed stockpiles of food items buried underground, depriving the terrorists of crucial sustenance. As troops advanced ahead of Garin Fallujah, they engaged the terrorists in a blistering firefight, forcing them into a chaotic retreat. In the process, a notorious terrorist commander, Abba Alai (Amirul Khahid of Alafa) a high-value target who had long been on security watchlists, was neutralized. Weapons recovered in the operation are:

- One AK-47 rifle
- One AK-47 rifle magazine
- 23 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition
- One radio set
- A DSHK heavy machine gun barrel
- One motorcycle
- Assorted medical supplies

The troops further cleared Ukuba Forest capturing alarming assortment of heavy weaponry and military-grade equipment, including:

- Two General-Purpose Machine Guns (GPMG)
- Mowag armored tank engine
- Heavy-duty vehicle engine block with components
- One QJC W85 anti-aircraft gun
- Three light machine guns
- One M60 machine gun
- Two RPG launcher tubes
- One QJC cradle
- One HK21 machine gun
- One G3 rifle magazine
- A fabricated 60mm mortar tube
- Three Improvised Explosive Device (IED) cylinders

In a separate operation troops strategically positioned in Gwoza Local Government Area as part of a blocking force to prevent insurgents from escaping Sambisa Forest delivered yet another crushing blow on the terrorists. The coordinated offensive in Gobara village saw the insurgents abandon their weapons and fled in panic. A meticulous search of the area led to the discovery of:

- 57 rounds of 12.7mm ammunition
- 30 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition
- Three AK-47 rifle magazines
- A locally fabricated dane gun
- Two prototype firearms suspected to be used for terrorists' training.

In a heartwarming development, troops also rescued an elderly woman who had been held hostage by the terrorists for 10 years.

Meanwhile, acting on credible intelligence, troops in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno state stormed a notorious kidnappers' hideout in Shirkaki village, where they apprehended a prime suspect who had long been on the security watchlist. The swift and precise operation led to the recovery of:

- Two AK-47 rifles
- Two AK-47 rifle magazines
- One pump-action shotgun
- Four rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition
- Six cartridges.

In Katsina State, at Unguwan Baki village, Faskari Local Government Area, terrorists attempting an attack were met with superior firepower, forcing them to flee into the forest, abandoning their motorcycles. Also, in a rare but telling development, a high-ranking terrorist commander in Jibia local government area of Katsina State voluntarily surrendered to troops, handing over two AK-47 rifles. He also freed 10 captives, including seven women and three children, signaling his decision to abandon a life of terror and embrace peace.

In Zamfara State, troops engaged another group of terrorists, neutralizing one while the rest scattered in confusion, leaving behind two motorcycles.

Troops deployed to Niger State equally engaged terrorists in a pitched battle, compelling them to flee into the dense forests of Dakwala and Chikuba. Troops subsequently launched a sweeping clearance operation, recovering 36 abandoned motorcycles and demolishing all terrorist hideouts in the area.

In Baruten Local government Area of Kwara State, troops stormed a known kidnapps’ enclave in Karunji village, forcing the criminals to flee in terror on sighting the advancing troops, leaving their captives behind. The successful rescue operation led to the recovery of:

- A locally made pistol
- 6 Dane guns
- 3 motorcycles

Meanwhile, in a significant counterterrorism breakthrough, troops deployed to Delta State captured a high-profile IPOB/ESN commander, identified as Ekene Ifeanyi, in his hideout within Issele Asagba Forest of Oshimili South Local Government Area. The suspect, who had been on the security watchlist, was a key figure in establishing IPOB/ESN terrorist cells in Delta State. During interrogation, he confessed to being a top IPOB operative.

The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede while commending the troops’ resilience, has reiterated his resolve to make their welfare a priority, adding that they deserve the best for their selfless service. He also affirmed that, the Nigerian Army remains unyielding in its resolve to eradicate terrorism and criminality across the nation. With unwavering commitment, unmatched firepower and relentless pursuit, troops will continue to hunt down remnants of the nation's adversaries, ensuring that peace and stability prevail across the country.

The delivery is a direct result of an earlier contract awarded to SOFEMA by the Nigerian Air Force for the refurbishment and upgrade of the Alpha Jet fleet.

Under this agreement, six of the ex French Air Force jets sourced by Sofema will be restored for operational use, while the rest will serve as spare parts.

Yesterday Morocco marked its purchase and initial delivery of six AH-64E Apache reconnaissance and attack helicopters, making it the second nation on the African continent to attain this aircraft. The Apache helicopters capability is unmatched and its performance in conflict proven.

“Through the purchase of the AH-64E Apache helicopters, Morocco has made a significant step in investing in their future, gained a cutting-edge capability, and provided the Royal Moroccan Air Force with a critical tool that will empower them to further security goals in the region,” said Gen. Michael Langley, U.S. Africa Command Commander, who was on hand for the event.

Morocco is a major non-NATO ally and committed partner with the U.S. The country plays a key role in maintaining regional security and stability and contributes to peace and prosperity in the Middle East and throughout the African continent.
