Two prominent bandit kingpin Kachala Gwande, Kachallah Madagwal and 12 other fighters were killed after a confrontation erupted at Kaurar Zomo village in the Kunchin Kalgo district of Tsafe LGA, Zamfara State, involving three rival bandit groups.
Intelligence told Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and Security analyst in Lake Chad that
Alhaji TSAUNI’s group, Kachallah JAFARU’s group, and Kachallah GWANDU’s group, clashed in a fierce gun battle, on the Thursday, 17th of April, 2024, at approximately 15:45 hours, resulting in the reported death of 12 bandits from the three factions.
JAFARU, a notorious bandit kingpin known to operate from Faskari LGA in Katsina state, descended upon Kaurar Zomo village, which serves as TSAUNI’s stronghold, under undisclosed circumstances that led to the violent confrontation. JAFARU’s fighters overpowered and naturalised Gwande and his fighters.
The fight however escalated to other enclaves shortly after the news of Gwande’s death broke, resulting in another heavy gun battle with Kachallah Madagwal’s group who was nutrialised in the aftermath of the shootout.
Zagazola understands that several bandits who sustained severe gunshot wounds were promptly evacuated to Munhaye Health Facility for urgent medical attention.
The people of the area were currently trooping to the battleground to see the dead bodies of the neutralized bandits.
Note:
In light of the aforementioned incident, the internal strife within the rival bandit groups presents an opportunity in the ongoing battle against banditry.
This situation offers a strategic moment for the air components of Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) to potentially neutralize the warring factions while they are engaged in combat.
