In another development, during a massive onslaught and clearance operation conducted by troops of OPHD, the notorious bandits’ kingpin Dogo Gide narrowly escaped death with serious gunshot injuries, as his foot soldiers were on the run while his hideouts were discovered and destroyed.
The troops descended on the terrorists’ enclaves at Dansadau, Mai Tukunya, and Babban Doka villages which have been the hideouts for Dogo Gide in Zamfara state. During the incursion, the combat-ready troops dominated Yau Sarkin Pawa House of Dogo Gide, searched the house, and destroyed it.
Items recovered from the Dogo Gide’s house include a tailoring factory for sewing various military and other security agencies uniforms, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs); a mini pharmacy suspected to be used for treatment of wounded terrorists, five operational motorcycles and sewing machines among other items which were set ablaze instantly.
