Plateau Killings: Military Declares 11 Suspects Wanted

In a major victory against armed banditry, troops from Operation Hadarin Daji have successfully eliminated four notorious bandit leaders in Zamfara State.

Naija News understands that the criminals, identified as Ibrahim Nagure, Lawali Dodo, Kadiri, and Jambaleri, were killed during a military operation that also neutralized Halilu Sububu, a key figure behind numerous terrorist activities in the North West.

Meanwhile, military forces apprehended another wanted terrorist kingpin, Hosseini Osman, in Plateau State.

He was captured in Ganawuri village, Riyom local government area, where he confessed to organizing several deadly attacks, including a recent assault on Ganawuri village that claimed the lives of innocent civilians.

Osman also revealed his involvement in a local kidnapping syndicate responsible for a series of abductions.

Using information obtained from Osman, troops swiftly mobilized to Kyaram village in Kanam local government area, where they successfully rescued several kidnapped victims.

In a separate operation, PRNigeria sources confirmed that troops launched a strategic ambush on fleeing terrorists from the Sambisa Forest heading towards the Mandara Mountains in Gwoza local government area.

This led to significant casualties among Boko Haram fighters and the seizure of a large cache of weapons and ammunition.

Additionally, in Kaduna State, troops raided a suspected terrorist hideout in Gobarawa Forest, Birnin Gwari.

The operation caused the criminals to flee, leaving behind five AK-47 rifles, 16 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, and five motorcycles, as confirmed by a military source.

Recall that Sububu had been a central figure in instigating violence in Zamfara, but his elimination on Thursday marked a critical turning point.

A reliable intelligence source confirmed that military efforts led to the elimination of Halilu Sububu and several bandits during an aggressive clearance operation, with troops confiscating firearms, ammunition, and motorcycles used by the terrorists.

Sububu had been involved in the killing of a drone pilot and an operative from the Department of State Services (DSS) two months ago and was responsible for several abductions and murders in Zamfara.
