The gang members of the late Kachalla Nagala launched a deadly ambush on Kachalla Mai Shayi, a notorious bandits leader and his followers between the villages of Buroyi and Buzaya, near Sangerawa in Bini district, Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
During the ambush, Kachalla Mai Shayi and twelve of his men were killed. Reports indicate that Kachalla Mai Shayi was a key lieutenant of the notorious bandit leader Kachalla Yellow Mai Balli Balli.
The ambush appears to be part of an ongoing cycle of revenge attacks among rival bandit factions in the forested areas of Zamfara. The feud began after Kachalla Yellow Mai Bille killed Kachalla Nagala, sparking ongoing violence among the gangs.
The followers of the late Kachalla Nagala are now reportedly seeking to target Yellow Mai Bille, Sojan Zakwaui, and Yellon Emir in revenge for the death of their leader.
The escalating violence between the groups continues to claim lives of the bandits especially among their leaders.
Zagazola was closely monitoring the situation, but tensions remain high as the bandit factions seek further revenge.
