He was boss to Bello Turji’s boss and more dangerous than him
The Nigeria Army has recorded a breakthrough by getting rid of notorious terrorist, known as Yellow Danbokkolo, in Sokoto. This heart-warming killing was achieved during a weeklong encounter in the North West.
Troops of Operation Fasan Yamma eliminated the notorious terrorist, and thus brought respite to Sokoto State and its environs.
Maj. Gen. Markus Kangye, Director, Defence Media Operations, confirmed the killing in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
Kangye said the operation was conducted in conjunction with Hybrid Forces supported by air components and other security agencies, following credible intelligence on the movement of fleeing bandits and terrorists.
“During the encounter, a notorious terrorist kingpin, known as Yellow Danbokkolo, who, for years has devastated residents of Eastern Sokoto, suffered serious gunshot wounds.
“He subsequently died on Monday from the injuries sustained during the fierce battle with our troops.
“It is believed that Yellow Danbokkolo was much more dreaded than Bello Turji. He was the mastermind of the December 2021 arson on travellers in Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara, during which all the passengers were burnt to death,” he said.
Kangye said the neutralised kingpin lived on endless bouts of pentazocine to sustain his cruelty and heinous activities.
He said the troops with the renewed resolve, were on the hunt for Bello Turji, who had been in hiding.
“The Armed Forces of Nigeria is committed to restoring normalcy in all parts of the country and, therefore, call for the cooperation of all Nigerians in this drive,” he added.
