Troops of the Mobile Strike Team (MST) under Operation FASAN YAMMA (OPFY) have successfully neutralized several notorious terrorists during a decisive operation in Ƙunchin Kalgo, Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State, on 10 June 2025.
Confirming the report, Director, Defence Media Operations Major General Markus Kangye said among those killed was a high-profile terrorist known as Auta, alongside his associates Abdul Jamilu and Salisu.
He said these individuals were linked to multiple acts of violence and terror in the region. The operation represents a major setback for criminal networks destabilizing peace and security in Zamfara.
Kangye said preliminary intelligence also confirms the elimination of two additional terrorist leaders, including one identified as Babayé. In a separate but related operation, troops reportedly killed Sale Ado Madele, alias Sarki, the eldest son of notorious bandit leader Ado Alieru.
He added that ten terrorists were killed near a filling station in Danjibga. They were believed to be part of a syndicate organized by a terrorist known as Dogo Sule, reportedly preparing for a coordinated attack.
The Nigerian Armed Forces reaffirm their commitment to restoring peace and security across Zamfara State and the broader North-West region. This operation underscores ongoing efforts to dismantle terrorist networks and bring perpetrators to justice.
