BREAKING NEWS: Notorious Bandits’ Leader, Dogo Gide Killed

A notorious bandit leader in the North West region of Nigeria, Dogo Gide, has been reported killed in a confrontation with Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) troops of the Nigerian Army.

Former presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, shared the news via his official X handle on Wednesday morning, stating that Gide succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained during the encounter with the military forces.

Gide, who was among Nigeria’s most wanted bandits, was notorious for his involvement in kidnapping and the deaths of numerous innocent villagers, as well as the displacement of many others in the North.

His operational base was known to rotate among states in the North West, particularly Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, and Katsina.

In a previous incident on October 30, 2023, Gide narrowly escaped capture and death during a fierce battle with Nigerian troops when they raided his strongholds in Zamfara State.

The troops discovered and destroyed his residence, seizing various items including a tailoring factory for producing military uniforms, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), medical supplies, operational motorcycles, and sewing machines.
