A terrorist kingpin, known as Halilu Buzu and some of his fighters, has been killed by troops of the Nigerian Army on Thursday in Zamfara State.

Buzu was ascribed to be the boss of terrorist kingpin, Bello Turji.

The Nigerian Army made this announcement on Friday in an X post.

It read, “In a ferocious strike, troops in a deliberate and discreetly coordinated offensive have on Thursday, September 12, 2024, eliminated a terrorist kingpin, infamously known as Halilu Buzu and a good number of his fighters in Mayanchi village.

“The terrorist kingpin and his fighters, who put up fierce resistance on encountering the troops, however, succumbed to the overwhelming firepower of the valiant troops.”

The Army said troops, after the operation recovered two rocket-propelled Grenade guns, three PKT guns, five AK-47 rifles, and 30 motorcycles.

“On winning the firefight, the troops recovered two Rocket Propelled Grenade guns, three PKT guns, five AK-47 rifles, 479 rounds of PKT ammunition, 366 rounds of 7.62mm (special) ammunition, 182 rounds of Machine Gun 1 ammunition, one RPG bomb, 29 AK-47 magazines, 30 motorcycles, two Android phones, and two Yeekee phones.
