Monday, December 15, 2025 - Security operatives have k!lled Kachalla Na’Allah, a notorious bandit identified as a key figure in criminal networks operating in Sokoto State, following a coordinated operation in Isa Local Government Area.
A security source confirmed that Na’Allah was shot d3ad on
Friday during an engagement between Girnashe and Kuka Tara villages in Tsabre
Ward.
The operation involved a joint team of Mobile Police and
Community Guard personnel, with support from the Nigerian Army.
“The operation was carefully planned and executed, resulting
in the neutralisation of the bandit kingpin,” the source said.
Na’Allah is reportedly a cousin of Ibrahim Chimmo, a
notorious bandit believed to be active in the Sububu Forest axis.
The security source noted that the elimination of Na’Allah
represents a strategic move towards dismantling the leadership and operational
structures of bandit groups in the region.
This incident follows the recent neutralization of another
notorious bandit, Kachalla Kallamu, by troops of the 8 Division of the Nigerian
Army in Sabon Birnin Local Government Area, indicating a sustained military
effort to suppress criminal networks in Sokoto State.
Commenting on the operation, the Special Adviser to Governor
Ahmad Aliyu on Security Matters, retired Colonel Ahmad Usman, commended the
army and other security agencies for their ongoing commitment.
He said the successes demonstrated the effectiveness of
coordinated efforts between the military, police, and local security
structures, emphasizing that the fight against banditry in the state remained a
priority.
Residents of the Isa Local Government Area expressed relief
at the operation, noting that the removal of Na’Allah would help reduce attacks
on communities and provide some measure of safety for villagers living near the
affected areas.
