How Zamfara Bandit Leader, Dogo Gudali Was Killed By Explosives Planted By His Members

A notorious bandit leader in Zamfara State, Dogo Gudali has been killed by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) planted by members of his terrorist group.

It was gathered that Dogo Gudali met his demise when the explosives unexpectedly detonated during a clearance operation by troops of Operation Hadarin Daji at the fringes of Gando Forest in Bukkuyum Local Government Area of the state.

A military source in the North-West confirmed that the IED was initially intended to target the troops but prematurely exploded, resulting in the death of Dogo Gudali and several of his followers.

“The explosive was intended for troops, but detonated prematurely and killed the daredevil bandit leader, Dogo Gudali, and some of his fighters”.

“Dogo Gudali and his gang members have been terrorizing Anka, Gummi, Bukkuyum, and some parts of Sokoto and Kebbi States,” the source said.

This comes two months after bandits killed two victims and released 70 out of 85 people abducted from Wanzamai village of Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara state.
