Gusau: Nigerian troops eliminated over 300 kidnapping and cattle rustling gang members in Zamfara’s Gummi district this week. The two-day operation marks a ‘significant breakthrough’ in the fight against violent syndicates terrorizing local communities.
Residents described intense fighting throughout Wednesday and Thursday as soldiers and vigilantes engaged roughly 1,000 well-armed bandits attempting to relocate stolen livestock. This follows previous failed military attempts to overrun the camps.
These gangs impose levies on farmers and launch deadly raids. Analysts note a growing convergence between these financially motivated groups and jihadist insurgents who have plagued the nation for 17 years.
The operation disrupted the stronghold, providing relief to residents who had been besieged by constant gunfire and explosions.
