The Nigerian Defence Headquarters through the Defence Media Operations has confirmed the death of notorious terrorist hit man, ‘Yellow Danbokkolo’ after sustaining a gunshot wound from troops.
The confirmation was made by spokesman of Defence Media Operations (DMO), Major General Markus Kangye.
According to General Kangye, troops of Operation FASAN YAMA, in conjunction with Hybrid Forces supported by Air Components and other security agencies, conducted an intelligence lead operation last week, during which they engaed bandits and fleeing 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 yesterday from the injuries sustained during the fierce battle with our troops.
“It is believed that Yellow Danbokkolo was much more dreaded than Bello Turji as he masterminded the December 2021 arson on travellers in Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State, durin which all the passengers were burnt to death. In order to sustain his cruelty and heinous activities, Danbokkolo lived on endless bouts of pentazocine.
“Our exultant troops of Operation FASAN YAMA with this renewed resolve are on the hunt for Bello Turji, who has been in hiding. The Armed Forces of Nigeria is committed to restoring normalcy in all parts of the country and, therefore, calls for the cooperation of all Nigerians in this drive. Below is the picture of eliminated Yellow Danbokkolo.” General Kangye said.
