The Nigerian Army troops have successfully neutralised bandit commander Kachalla Dan Gudale Shangel operating in Niger State alongside several other key members of the group.
This was revealed by security expert Bakatsine in a post on his X handle which described Shangel as a notorious leader who rejected all attempts to reach a peace agreement.
\u201cHe rejected peace talks and masterminded attacks across Birnin Gwari, Niger North, and border LGAs in Kebbi State (Danko\/Wasagu, Sakaba, Ngaski, Yauri). He was linked to mass killings, village burnings, kidnappings and cattle rustling.\u201d Bakatsine wrote.
He further revealed that several other commanders were neutralized during clashes in Lioji and Mailaka (Kotonkoro) \u201cbandits attempted to move hostages toward Zamfara and Birnin Gwari. Locals report surviving bandits fleeing Sangeko\u2013Kabaro axis while mourning their dead, an indication of heavy losses.\u201d
The security expert applauded the troops for their dedication to eradicate banditry in the country.
\u201ckudos to the Nigerian troops for this decisive operation. Your courage, persistence and sacrifice in confronting violent armed groups under difficult conditions continue to bring relief to affected communities.\u201d<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
