The Notorious Bandit Kingpin, Dan Karami,aka Gwaska has killed another top Bandits Leader, Kachalla Dan Chaki, and scores of his fighters in the continued intensified infighting in Zamfara state.
It was gathered that Dankarami and his fighters stormed the camp of Dan Chakki in his camp in Dangaraga village in Zurmi LGA on the evening of April 8, 2024.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama, a Counter Insurgency Expert and Security Analyst in the Lake Chad region that Dankarami attacked the bandit kingpin after report filters that Chaki was looking for him to avenge the killing of his Boss, Sani Dangote.
The two notorious bandit leaders, Dangote and Lamisodi, infamous for their involvement in kidnapping and murder in Jibia, Batsari in Katsina and parts of Zamfara State, were killed in a skirmish with the Dankarami group on April 7, 2024 in Dumburum, Zamfara State.
The conflict that resulted in their deaths reportedly stemmed from a dispute over a stolen sheep belonging to one Lamo, the elder brother of Dangote who was attacked and killed instantly by Dankarami’s faction.
On hearing the news, Dangote along with his younger brother Auta mobilized his fighters and headed toward the location for a major confrontation. Again, Dankarami opened fire at them, killing all of them while only a few fighters from the Dankarmi’s faction were killed.
Again, Dankarami went further to kill the assistant Chief Imam of Dumburum and one other person while two other middle ranking bandits like Na’ Baddo and Emir, escaped with bullet wounds.
The continued killing of top Bandits from the Fulani extraction by Dankarami who was from the Hausa tribe has angered the entire Kachallas (Leaders) of the Fulani Bandits who vowed to eliminate all the bandits from the Hausa extraction in Zamfara state.
On April 9, 2024, top ranking bandit Leaders from Zamfara and Kastina states held an emergency meeting in the village of Shinfida in Jibia Local Government of Kastina. They resolved to invade the camps of Dankarami and his gangs in Zamfara state to avenge the killing of Sani Dangote and others Kachalla’s killed by Dankarami.
Major discussion during the meeting was the plan to deploy fighters that will overpower Dankarami’s fighters.
Kachallah, Ado Allero, Dogo Gide, Sani Fulani, Alhaji Nashingi and Bello Turji have placed their fighters on standby for a major incursion into Dankarami camp.
Meanwhile, Dan Karami has also mutilated powers to challenge his exploits by merging with Boko haram fighters into his fold, making him the strongest bandit kingpin in Zamfara state.
Interested times ahead in the North West of Zamfara state.
