Troops of Operation Fansan Yamma have neutralized a notorious terrorist kingpin, Sani Rusu, and several other terrorists in separate operations in Zamfara State.

Lt.-Col. Abubakar Abdullahi, the Coordinator of the Joint Media Coordination Centre, Operation Fansan Yamma, disclosed this in a statement made available on Monday, January 6, 2025.

According to Abdullahi, troops of 1 Brigade, Sector 2, Joint Task Force North West, conducted a fighting patrol to Bamamu Village in Tsafe Local Government Area on Jan. 4, where they encountered and neutralized Rusu during an operation.

The statement added that, on the same day, troops carried out an ambush at Kwanar Jollof in Shinkafi LGA following credible intelligence about terrorist activities in the area.

“During the operation, several terrorists were neutralized, while others sustained fatal injuries. Troops also recovered one AK-47 rifle, one G3 rifle, 8 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, 4 rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition, 3 magazines, and 3 motorcycles,” the statement said.

He said that the Air Component of Operation Fansan Yamma intensified strikes on terrorist enclaves, including those led by notorious kingpins Bello Turji and Ibrahim Chumo.

On Dec. 30, 2024, the Air Component conducted precision airstrikes on a terrorist meeting between Fakai and Kware areas in Shinkafi LGA. Intelligence revealed that Turji and his fighters had convened in the area.

“In a follow-up operation on Jan. 2, 2025, airstrikes targeted Maikaman Rini in Sububu Forest, in support of ground troops advancing on Chumo’s camp,” the statement said.

On January 5, the troops launched an offensive on Turji’s camp in Chida, Shinkafi LGA, resulting in significant casualties and the destruction of hideouts.

Abdullahi reiterated the commitment of Operation Fansan Yamma to neutralize terrorist threats and restore peace to the region.

“The Joint Task Force appreciates the continued support of the local communities and encourages further cooperation to achieve its mandate,” he added.
