- It’s gathered that the fierce and heavy gun battle that ensued between the two groups during the clash lasted for about three hours.
In Zamfara State, a deadly clash between two rival terrorist groups has left 23 terrorists dead.
The violent confrontation happened on Saturday, May 11, near Sunke Forest in Anka Local Government Area of the north-west State.
The two warring groups are led by Bello Kaura and Kachalla Najaja engaged.
It’s gathered that the fierce and heavy gun battle that ensued between the two groups during the clash lasted for about three hours.
Kaura’s group was said to have successfully thwarted Najaja’s attackers, forcing them to retreat through the Gandu forest in the Bukuyum area of the state.
Local sources who are familiar with the incident disclosed that Kaura was resisting Najaja’s trespassing into his territory, viewing the latter’s attacks on villages outside his domain in Anka as an unwarranted invasion. Following the initial confrontation, Kaura’s group eliminated six terrorists affiliated with Najaja.
Subsequently, Najaja mobilised armed fighters to confront Kaura in the Sumke forest, resulting in the deaths of 17 terrorists loyal to Kaura in the Anka region.
Kaura has vowed to eliminate Najaja’s group, while the other faction is making arrangements for another major attack.
Over the past four years, a significant number of residents have fled their villages due to their inability to meet the ransom and protection fees demanded by the terror leader, Bello Kaura.
