Notorious bandit Kachalla Na’Allah shot dead in Sokoto
Combined security operatives have neutralised notorious bandit Kachalla Na’Allah in Isa Local Government Area of Sokoto State, during efforts to dismantle bandit networks.
A security source confirmed this to journalists on Saturday in Sokoto that Mr Na’Allah was shot dead on Friday during a coordinated security operation.
“The suspect was intercepted and neutralised between Girnashe and Kuka Tara villages, under Tsabre Ward of Isa Local Government Area,” the source said.
