Notorious bandit, Gwoska Dankarami, has again escaped death on New Year’s eve during military airstrikes on his camp along Kaura Namoda road in Zurmi Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
It was gathered that more than a dozen of Dankarami’s foot soldiers died in the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) bombardment.
The shelling was conducted by the Air Component of Operation Hadarin Daji.
According to PRNigeria, a military operative said that the location was struck multiple times within some hours.
“The operation killed over 16 of his cohorts, destroyed his enclave and newly built house.
“Dankarami has not been himself since the strikes at Mutunji village in Dansadau a fortnight ago”, the source added.
That operation eliminated over 100 terrorists, including the kingpin’s close associates.
NAF Director of Information, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, who confirmed Saturday’s raid, said there would be no hiding place for “terrorists and their supporters wherever they may be”.
