On New Year’s Eve, Gwoska Dankarami, a Zamfara bandit, narrowly avoided death during military bombings on his camp.
In the state’s Zurmi Local Government Area, the hideout is located along Kaura Namoda Road.
The bombardment by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) claimed the lives of around a dozen foot soldiers for Dankarami.
The Air Component of Operation Hadarin Daji fired the shells.
A military operative informed PRNigeria that the target was struck several times over a period of several hours.
“The operation destroyed his enclave and newly constructed house while killing over 16 of his cohorts.
The source continued, “Dankarami hasn’t been himself since the strikes at Mutunji village in Dansadau a week ago.
Over 100 terrorists were killed in that operation, including some of the kingpin’s close friends.
The raid on Saturday was verified by the NAF’s director of information, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet.
There will be no safe haven for “terrorists and their supporters wherever they may be,” according to Gabkwet.
