In a major breakthrough against terrorism, troops from the Joint Task Force Northwest Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) have successfully eliminated notorious bandit commander Kachallah Buzu and several of his fighters in Zamfara State.
The operation, which took place on the night of September 12 in Mayanchi village, was the result of an ambush laid by the military following intelligence reports on the terrorists’ movements.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the ambush led to the neutralization of numerous bandits, including their leader, Buzu.
In addition to the significant loss of life among the insurgents, the troops seized 30 motorcycles and a large cache of weapons, further crippling the group’s operational capabilities.
The success of this operation was a significant victory in the ongoing efforts to combat banditry in the Northwest region.
