Nigerian troops kill another notorious bandit leader, Kachalla Makore
Nigerian security forces have killed another notorious bandit leader, Kachalla Makore, along with several of his fighters.
This was made known on Wednesday by Zagazola Makama, a Lake Chad Basin counterterrorism and insurgency expert, in a post on his X handle.
Makama disclosed that the operation took place on Sunday along the Kwankele road in the Magami area of Gusau Local Government Area in Zamfara state.
The security expert explained that Makore and his men were reportedly en route to recover the body of fellow bandit leader Kachalla Sani Black, who had been killed earlier in the Dan Sadau area of Maru Local Government Area.
He stated that Sani Black was neutralized in Magama Mai Rake, a known notorious hotspot for banditry.
“Kachalla Makore rose to power after the death of his predecessor, Kachalla Damuna, and was known for his criminal operations around Kangon Garacci village in the Dan Gulbi area, also within Maru Local Government Area,” Makama added.
