3 wanted terrorist kingpins killed in NAF strikes in Zamfara

Abuja—Military authorities have revealed that wanted terrorist Kingpins Halilu Buzu, Yellow Kano, Alhaji Gana, and others have been confirmed killed in an air strike by the Air Component of Operation Hadarin Daji, OPHD, last month.

Sources said the air strikes came about after credible intelligence revealed that a prominent terrorist, Halilu Buzu of Sububu in Maradun LGA of Zamfara State, had scheduled an early-morning meeting with commanders and some of his foot soldiers in the area.

Consequently, NAF aircraft scrambled to simultaneously strike the location of the meeting and the logistics base.

The source said: “Halilu Buzu’s elimination comes as a relief to locals residing in Sububu, Anka (Bayan Daji) and Bayan Ruwa axis in Zamfara State because of his knack for terrorizing and torturing his kidnapped victims.

Similar air strikes were conducted on 14 November 2022 at a location of a notorious terrorist kingpin Alhaji Ganai’s enclave at Kidandan Forest in Giwa Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State.

This came about after intelligence had monitored, tracked, and established the trend of activities of Alhaji Ganai and his foot soldiers within the location.

Accordingly, the Air Component dispatched an aircraft for the destruction of the enclave.

“Overhead, the fighter jet observed and attacked the target in successive passes.”
