A notorious bandits kingpin, Dogo Gide, who has involved with ANSARU and other significant terrorist organisations, was assisted to a hospital by a security operative before he eventually died, it has been learnt.
SaharaReporters had reported that Dogo Gide passed away as a result of gunshot injuries sustained during a clash with Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) forces.
Imran Muhammad, in a statement posted on his X platform on Wednesday, noted that the encounter took place in the challenging landscape of Madada forest within the Maru local government area on March 12, 2024.
Dogo Gide was said to have been covertly taken to a hospital in Mabera, Sokoto, Sokoto State, where he eventually passed away.
Imran explained that his appearance at the hospital was supposedly made easier by a security official who is currently detained, prompting concerns about potential sabotage within the security forces.
He added that the successful elimination of Dogo Gide represents a notable achievement for the Nigerian security forces, showcasing the collaborative endeavors of 1 Division and 8 Division of the Nigerian Army.
Dogo Gide and his cronies were carving out a territory for themselves before airstrikes conducted by the Nigerian Armed Forces destroyed their camp on Sunday, June 7.
Dogo Gide is among the released pictures of 97 terrorists and armed bandits declared wanted in the country, by the Defence Headquarters (DHQ).
This came as the 7 Division of the Nigerian Army, Maiduguri on Friday rescued 78 persons, comprising 35 women and 43 children held hostage by the terrorists in Borno State.
