Military Kill Notorious Terrorist Yellow Jambros, Others In Airstrike

The Air Component of Operation Whirl Punch of the Nigeria Army has disclosed that it has neutralized scores of the terrorists including the dreaded terrorist and kidnap kingpin, Yellow Jambros in Shiroro Local Government Area (LGA) of Niger state.

The Army made this disclosure in a statement signed by Director of Public Relations and Information of Nigerian Air Force, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet.

Edward Gabkwet disclosed that Yellow Jambros and his cohort have been responsible for several kidnappings and killings along the Abuja-Kaduna Road and in several communities in Kaduna, Niger, Katsina and Zamfara States.

According to him, prior to the strike, Yellow Jambros and his cohorts were trailed from Zamfara State into Niger State riding 13 motorcycles along the Kaduna-Niger State border, precisely heading towards Kusasu in Shiroro LGA of Niger State.

“At Kusasu, five other motorcycle-riding terrorists joined Yellow Jambros’ convoy, bringing the total number of motorcycles to 18, which then headed to the bank of River Jikudna.

“At the river bank, the terrorists and their 18 motorcycles boarded a large motor-powered canoe in an attempt to cross and link up with other terrorists across the river. It was at this point that the authorization to undertake a strike was given.

“Though it was unusual for terrorists riding in a convoy of 18 motorcycles to travel in broad daylight, it was apparent that Yellow Jambros and his cohorts had assumed that air strikes were suspended following the unfortunate incident at Tudun Biri in Kaduna State and wanted to exploit the perceived window of opportunity”.

It further disclosed that Yellow Jambros
usually supply Mohammed Sani a kidnapping kingpin who was arrested by the police in Zamfara state in 2020 with fake military and police uniforms, guns and other weapons needed to execute his operation.
