Saturday, March 8, 2025 - A rival faction has eliminated notorious bandit
leader, Shekau.
He was ambushed and killed by a rival faction in Kachia Local Government
Area (LGA) of Kaduna State.
Intelligence sources revealed to Zagazola Makama that the attack was
orchestrated by a rival bandit leader, Shumo, an indigene of Ragadada, Buruku
in Birnin Gwari LGA. The assault was in retaliation for a previous attack by
Shekau, who had reportedly seized Shumo’s weapons and killed several of his
fighters.
According to sources, the ambush, which took place on March 5, 2025,
resulted in Shekau’s death along with some of his lieutenants. The bodies of
the neutralized bandits were later buried by individuals identified as Yellow
Million, Baba Kusa, and an imam from Kabode village, Kachia LGA.
While banditry in Kaduna has significantly declined due to non-kinetic
efforts by the Kaduna State government and security agencies, internal
rivalries among bandit factions continue to escalate, leading to multiple
casualties in recent times.
