Security analysts have reported the death of Biliya, a senior lieutenant of the notorious bandit leader, Kachalla Muhammadu, following an attack by security forces in the Matazu axis of Katsina State. The information was shared by Zagazola Makama on Saturday, August 15, 2026, based on intercepted communications between two suspected bandit associates, Mamiyo and Juli Asso Maha.
According to the intercepted conversation, Mamiyo, who had recently returned from Kachalla Muhammadu's location, confirmed that Biliya and other gang members had launched an operation towards the northern part of their area in the Matazu axis. The group reportedly entered an unspecified town and left Biliya inside a shop before encountering security forces.
Upon the group's return to their leader's location, Mamiyo reported Biliya's death. This information reportedly caused frustration among the gang members, particularly Juli, who expressed her displeasure over Biliya's demise. As of the time of this report, authorities have not issued an official statement confirming the reported death of Biliya, the lieutenant of Kachalla Muhammadu.
