In a major setback to the activities of infamous bandits in Northern Nigeria, Dogo Gide, the feared leader known for his bold acts of violence, has been confirmed dead.

Despite suffering severe injuries, Dogo Gide was reportedly taken to a hospital at Mabera area, Sokoto, Sokoto state, where he eventually passed away.
Sources within the military revealed that Dogo Gide, a long-wanted fugitive for his reign of terror in the region, was buried in Dandalla Village on Sunday March 24, 2024.
Allegedly, a security operative who has since been apprehended and is in custody of security forces rushed Dogo Gide to a medical facility at Mabera area in Sokoto.
The death of Dogo Gide represents a significant triumph for Nigerian security forces, particularly the joint efforts of 1 Division and 8 Division of the Nigerian Army. Their coordinated operation aimed at rescuing abducted Kuriga Pupils from Kaduna state, held captive in Zamfara state, led to the encounter with Dogo Gide and his associates in Madada, Kuyambana, and Malekete areas.
Dogo Gide’s criminal history includes ties to ANSARU and other prominent terrorist organizations, with claims of responsibility for grave acts such as bringing down a military helicopter in the Dansadau-Birmin Gwari area and kidnapping students from Federal Government College Yauri.

With his demise, authorities aim to deliver a significant blow to the operations of criminal elements plaguing Northern Nigeria.
