A notorious terrorist kingpin known as Alhaji Ma’oli has been neutralised in Mai Sheka village near Kunchin Kalgo town in Zamfara State.
The successful operation, spearheaded by Nigerian Army Troops of 1 Brigade in Sector 2 Joint Task Force North West, Operation Fansan Yamma, was a direct response to intelligence reports of terrorist activities in the area.
Ma’oli, who was known for imposing illegal levies on residents in the Bilbis District, has caused fear and suffering in the region.
“Swift response by troops of Operation Fansan Yamma not only thwarted the terrorists’ plan to attack the locals but also reinforced the commitment to securing the area from further acts of violence.”
“Operation Fansan Yamma remains resolute in its mandate to pursue and neutralise all remaining terrorists and their collaborators across the Joint Task Force Theatre of Operation.
“The Joint Task Force will also continue to work diligently alongside local communities towards achieving lasting peace and security in Zamfara State and beyond,” Colonel Abubakar Abdullahi, Coordinator Joint Media Coordination Centre, Operation Fansan Yamma, said in a statement.
