Bandit kingpin Gwaska has been killed in Katsina alongside 100 others in military operations against criminals in the North-Western state.
The State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Dr. Nasir Mua’zu disclosed this in a statement on Friday.
He said the operation is a crucial component of a broader strategy by security stakeholders to reclaim stability in the Katsina State and Northwest Region.
During the operation, the forces recovered and subsequently destroyed two machine guns, locally fabricated shotguns, and other weapons to prevent their reuse by criminal elements.
He explained that the Nigerian Army’s 17th Brigade and 213 Forward Operating Base of the Air Component of the Nigerian Air Force on April 10, 2025, executed a coordinated strike on bandit strongholds in Mununu Bakai, Zango, Jeka Arera, Malali, and Ruwan Godiya areas spanning Kankara and Faskari LGA
