Troops of  Operation Fansan Yamma have made significant gains against terrorists in Zamfara and Sokoto States from February 1st to 10th, 2025. This successful operation resulted in the neutralization of numerous terrorists, including high-ranking leaders, which has improved safety and security for residents and protected property within the Joint Operations area.

According to a statement signed by the Coordinator Joint Media Coordination Centre, Operation Fansan Yamma, Lieutenant Colonel  Abubakar Abdullahi, 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.

Further more, in addition to neutralizing key figures, troops have reportedly targeted terrorist hideouts, resulting in the destruction of around 40 suspected enclaves. Locations allegedly cleared of terrorist activity include Tungar Fulani, Unguwar Goga, Gangara Hill, and Gidan Maji.

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 have assured citizens that any information provided will be handled with confidentiality and respect.
