Notorious Terror Kingpin, ‘Alhaji Ma’oli’, Killed In Zamfara
The troops of 1 Brigade in Sector 2 Joint Task Force North West, Operation Fansan Yamma, have neutralised several terrorists, including a notorious kingpin known as Alhaji Ma’oli, on Boxing Day.
The operation took place in Mai Sheka village, near Kunchin Kalgo town, which is one of the local communities that had suffered under Ma’oli’s reign of terror.
Ma’oli is renowned for always imposing illegal levies on residents of Unguwan Rogo, Mai Sheka, Magazawa, and other surrounding areas of Bilbis in Tsafe Local Government Area (LGA) of Zamfara State.
According to the spokesman of Operation FANSAN YAMMA, Lt. Colonel Abubakar Abdullahi, the neutralisation of Ma’oli has brought relief and excitement to locals in the Bilbis general area.
He said, “The operation was initiated in response to an intelligence report of terrorists on motorcycles operating in the Bilbis axis of Bilbis District, Tsafe LGA in Zamfara State. The swift response by troops of Operation Fansan Yamma not only thwarted the terrorists’ plan to attack the locals but also reinforced the commitment to securing the area from further acts of violence.
“Operation Fansan Yamma remains resolute in its mandate to pursue and neutralise all remaining terrorists and their collaborators across the Joint Task Force Theatre of Operation. The Joint Task Force will also continue to work diligently alongside local communities towards achieving lasting peace and security in Zamfara State and beyond.”
