Troops from Operation Fassan Yamma have successfully neutralised Bello Turji’s second-in-command, Aminu Kanawa, along with 24 other terrorists, following a series of targeted operations in Sokoto and Zamfara States.
According to a statement from the Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, these operations were carried out between Monday and Tuesday, resulting in significant casualties for Turji’s terrorist group.
The operations targeted Turji’s camps, leading to the elimination of several of his key commanders and close allies. Among those killed were Dosso, Turji’s younger brother, and Danbokolo, one of his closest associates.
Other key commanders neutralised included Abu Dan Shehu, Jabbi Dogo, Dan Kane, Basiru Yellow, Kabiru Gebe, Bello Buba, and Dan Inna Kahon-Saniya-Yafi-Bahaushe.

Troops also managed to neutralise over 24 fleeing terrorists from Turji’s camp in areas such as Gebe and Isa Local Government Areas of Sokoto State, and Gidan Rijiya in Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara.
A notable terrorist, Suleiman, a loyalist of the late Halilu Sububu, was killed during the assault on Turji’s enclave near Fakai high ground. Suleiman was leading a reinforcement team to rescue Turji’s camp, which had been thrown into disarray, when he was eliminated during a firefight.
“Furthermore, troops neutralised over 24 fleeing terrorist from Turji’s camp around Gebe and Isa Local Government Areas of Sokoto State, as well as around Gidan Rijiya in Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara.
“Troops also neutralised another notable terrorist during the onslaught on Turji’s enclave around Fakai high ground.
“He is identified as Suleiman, and a loyalist of late notorious terrorists’ leader, Halilu Sububu.
“The late, Suleiman was leading a reinforcement team to rescue Bello Turji’s camp which was in disarray, when he was eliminated during the fire fight,” he said.
The elimination of Kanawa, Turji’s second-in-command, and his allies is seen as a major blow to the terrorist group, crippling their operational capabilities and weakening their presence in the region.
The Defence Headquarters has vowed to continue operations until these groups are completely eradicated, ensuring a safer environment for citizens in the region.
