Troops Neutralize Top Terrorists, Destroy 40 Hideouts in Zamfara, Sokoto

The troops of Operation Fansan Yamma have dealt a significant blow to terrorist activities in Zamfara and Sokoto States from 1 to 10 February 2025. This operation has resulted in the neutralization of numerous terrorists, including several key terrorist kingpins, thereby enhancing the safety and security of lives and property within the Joint Operations Area.

During this period, troops successfully neutralized dozens of terrorists, including kingpins such as Kachalla Na Faransa, Dogon Bakkwalo, Auta Gobaje and Dan Mai Dutsi, among others. Notably, many of these individuals were eliminated in a fierce battle in Shinkafi and Zurmi Local Government Areas (LGA) of Zamfara State as well as Isa LGA of Sokoto State. The operations have also dismantled the terrorist network and destroyed their support structures thus, significantly weakening their operational capacity.

In addition to neutralizing key figures, troops have actively targeted terrorist hideouts. An estimated 40 enclaves have been destroyed, with important locations such as Tungar Fulani, Unguwar Goga, Gangara Hill, and Gidan Maji cleared of terrorists. This extensive offensive operation is crucial in disrupting the logistical and operational capabilities of terrorists in the North West region.

The troops have also successfully recovered a cache of arms and ammunition, which will be crucial in preventing further attacks. In a compassionate effort, the troops rescued dozens of kidnapped victims during these operations, contributing to the overall security and peace in the affected areas.

As Operation continues, Operation Fansan Yamma remains committed to disrupting the cycle of terrorism in Northwest Nigeria and Niger State. We encourage the public to continue providing information on the fleeing terrorists to include Bello Turji and his henchmen. Troops of Operation Fansan Yamma also assure all citizens that their contributions will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and respect.
