Troops foil banditry attack in Katsina, recover rustled cattle

By: Zagazola Makama

Security operatives have foiled a banditry and cattle rustling operation in Lambun Kyauta village, Malumfashi Local Government Area of Katsina State, recovering a large herd of stolen cattle.

Zagazola Makama learnt that the attack occurred late on July 29 at about 10:30 p.m. when suspected armed bandits stormed the residence of a local herder, Alhaji Rabi’u, and rustled his livestock.

A team of security operatives were immediately dispatched to the scene. The operatives intercepted the attackers, leading to a fierce gun battle that forced the bandits to abandon the stolen cattle and flee into the bush.

The team later encountered a group of hunters during a follow-up search, resulting in another exchange of gunfire. Fortunately, no casualties were recorded.

Security has since been reinforced in the area, while efforts are ongoing to apprehend the fleeing suspects and prevent further incursions.

Troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA (OPFY) have neutralised three notorious terrorist kingpins during a successful ambush operation in Sabon Birni Local Government Area (LGA) of Sokoto State.

Zagazola Makama report that the operation was conducted on July 25 between Mallamawa and Mazau villages in the Tsamaye/Mai Lalle District of the LGA.

During the operation, the troops neutralised the terrorists identified as Kachalla Nagomma, Gurmu and Ali Yar Daribiyar, and recovered three AK-47 rifles with magazines and a motorcycle.

Sources told Zagazola that the terrorists and their foot soldiers were in the area to collect ransom and illegal levies imposed on residents when they were ambushed by the troops.

The source said the operation has triggered widespread relief and jubilation among residents of Mai Lalle, Tsamaye, Rimaye and nearby communities across Sabon Birni and Goronyo LGAs.

“These terrorists have long tormented the communities with killings, kidnappings and extortion, so this success is a huge morale boost for the people,” the source added.

The troops have continued to intensify kinetic and non-kinetic efforts in synergy with other security agencies and local vigilante groups.

The military has urged members of the public to continue providing credible and timely information to assist the troops in sustaining momentum against criminal elements.
