Text: GOOD NEWS: Nigerian troops have killed two bandit commanders operating in Niger State. Among them is Kachalla Dan Gudale Shangel, a notorious leader who 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. Several other commanders were neutralized during clashes in Lioji and Mailaka (Kotonkoro), as bandits attempted to move hostages toward Zamfara and Birnin Gwari. Locals report surviving bandits fleeing Sangeko–Kabaro axis while mourning their dead an indication of heavy losses. |
