Troops of the Joint Task Force North West neutralized a terrorist kingpin and arrested two suspects in separate operations in Katsina State, according to a report on September 15, 2026. The kingpin, identified as Abbah Alhassan, was eliminated during an operation in Matazu and Kankara local government areas where troops received intelligence about potential terrorist attacks.
Upon engaging with the terrorists, the troops successfully neutralized two individuals and recovered various items, including ammunition, a motorcycle, and camouflage gear. In another operation on the same day, troops arrested two suspects in the Yantumaki area of Dan Musa LGA, suspected of links to a terrorist kingpin named Mannori.
These suspects are currently in custody for further investigation. The ongoing operations aim to disrupt terrorist networks, rescue victims, and prevent criminal elements from operating freely in the joint operations area.
