The operation took place on Sunday, September 22, 2024, along the Kwankele road in the Magami area of Gusau Local Government.
Renowned counter-insurgency expert and security analyst, Zagazola Makama, confirmed the incident on Wednesday morning.
According to Zagazola, Makore and his men were reportedly on their way to recover the body of another notorious bandit leader, Kachalla Sani Black, who had been killed earlier in the Dan Sadau area of Maru Local Government.
Sani Black, who was neutralized in Magama Mai Rake, was also a key figure in the region’s bandit activities, making the successive deaths of these two leaders a significant blow to the bandit network operating in Zamfara State.
“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,” Zagazola wrote.
“This victory by security forces comes as part of ongoing efforts to eliminate top bandit leaders as well as curb banditry and violent crime in the North West.”
The killing of Makore marks another breakthrough for Nigerian Forces against terrorism, banditry, and other forms of criminality in Northwest and other regions of the country.
