The Nigeria Army has recorded another superb feat as it crushed notorious Bandit Commander, Kachalla Kallamu, in the Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State.
The 8th Division of the Nigeria Army neutralized the Bandit Warlord who has been a threat, and operating in the Northern Part of the country.
The elimination of the criminal kingpin was described as “a significant victory in the ongoing war against terrorism and banditry in the Northwest.”
Kallamu is said to be one of the most trusted Lieutenants of the infamous terror leader, Bello Turji, was taken down in a coordinated offensive carried out by gallant troops of the 8 Division, working in synergy with local vigilante teams.
It was gathered that Kallamu, a native of Garin-Idi in Sabon Birni, was neutralised alongside one of the Late Turji’s top logistics suppliers in the early hours of Monday during a decisive sweep around Kurawa village.
The mission, described as swift and precise, is said to have crippled a critical supply chain sustaining terror activities in the axis.
He has, for long, been a nightmare to residents within the eastern Sokoto corridor.
His deadly operations allegedly left numerous communities in fear, forcing mass displacement and continued insecurity.
Intelligence Reports indicate that he resurfaced in the region after fleeing a previous military heat in June 2025, during which he reportedly took refuge in Kogi State to evade arrest and accountability.
Residents across Sabon Birni have expressed relief with the crushing of the notorious Bandit kingpin, while the Special Adviser on Security to Governor Ahmad Aliyu, retired Colonel Ahmad Usman, reportedly joined citizens in celebrating what many described as a long-awaited justice for innocent victims of banditry in the state.
