Joint Operations in Kaduna Lead to Major Arrests and Disruption of Terrorism and Gun Running Activities

By: Zagazola Makama

A series of successful joint operations have led to significant breakthroughs in the fight against terrorism and illegal arms trafficking in Kaduna State. Key arrests have been made, including a soldier suspected of collaborating with terrorists and two notorious gun runners.

Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that At approximately 11:30 AM on 11 September 2024, one Private Dalha Tijani Ibrahim, a soldier attached to the 11 Field Engineer Regiment (FER) on Operation Whirlwind, was arrested by police operatives in the Kwangila area of Sabon Gari Local Government Area, Kaduna State.

He was caught delivering military kits to a suspected terrorist group. He had earlier deserted his duty post at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Fatika, which raised concerns about suspicious internal complicity with the terrorists.

Following the arrest of Pte. Dalha, further operations were carried out on 12 September 2024. At around 3:56 AM, Nigerian Police Force (NPF) operatives from Abuja, in collaboration with the Operation Yaki command in Kaduna, intercepted a tinted Peugeot 406 along the Kaduna-Saminaka-Gumau road.

The occupants of the vehicle, Zahardeen Abdulsalam (33) from Jos, Plateau State, and Abdullahi Tahir (35) from Kidandan Village in Giwa LGA, Kaduna State, were found to be in possession of a large cache of ammunition. The search of the vehicle revealed 3,700 rounds of 7.62x39mm and 170 rounds of 7.62x51mm (NATO) ammunition, allegedly destined for delivery to Yellow Jambros, a notorious armed bandit operating out of the Galadimawa Forests in Kaduna State.

These arrests mark a major victory in disrupting the supply chain of illegal arms and curbing the operations of terrorist and bandit groups in the region. Authorities have emphasized the importance of collaboration between security forces and intelligence agencies in successfully intercepting the shipment.

Bandits Dump Corpses in Revenge Attack in Tafoki Village, Katsina

By: Zagazola Makama

A group of suspected bandits have launched a brutal revenge attack on Tafoki village in the Fasakari Local Government Area of Katsina State, dumping several corpses at the entrance to the community.

Local sources told Zagazola Makama that the assailants, believed to be mostly in their 20s, arrived in the village on April 9, 2025, and positioned the bodies at the entrance. This attack is reportedly in retaliation for the deaths of three bandits killed by villagers in February 2025, after the criminals attempted to launch an assault on the village.

Among the slain bandits was Goje, a notorious leader who led the failed attack. Sources suggest that the bandits have since been abducting villagers, tying their hands behind their backs, and executing them with gunshots to the head. Afterward, the bandits return the bodies and dispose of them at the village entrance.

As families mourn, they are left to recover the decomposing remains of their loved ones, with some corpses already starting to decompose.

Villagers are left devastated, grappling with the trauma of the violence and the realization that their attempts to defend themselves against the bandits’ previous assault have now turned into deadly retribution.
