The military has disclosed that the dreaded terrorist kingpin, Yellow Danbokkolo, has died, having succumbed to gunshot wounds inflicted on him by troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA.
Danbokkolo sustained serious gunshot wounds during a fierce encounter last week, following an intelligence led operation by troops in conjunction with Hybrid Forces supported by Air Components and other security agencies, the Director, Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Markus Kangye disclosed on Tuesday.
According to him, Danbokkolo succumbed to the injuries on Monday, June 30, 2025.
Yellow Danbokkolo is believed to have been much more dreaded than Bello Turji as he masterminded the December 2021 arson on travellers in Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State, during which all the passengers were burnt to death.
He is also said to have lived on endless bouts of pentazocine to enable him
sustain his cruelty and heinous activities.
“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”, Kangye said.
