Dogo Gide, the notorious bandit leader responsible for spreading terror across the North, has met his end.
The demise of Dogo Gide marks the conclusion of his reign of terror that had plagued the region for an extended period.
Dogo Gide succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained during a fierce confrontation with Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) forces.
The encounter occurred amidst the rugged terrain of Madada Forest, located within the Maru local government area, on March 12, 2024.
Despite sustaining severe injuries during the clash, Dogo Gide was reportedly transported clandestinely to a hospital in Mabera, Sokoto, Sokoto State.
However, his injuries proved fatal, leading to his demise. The demise of Dogo Gide, a fugitive wanted for a string of atrocious crimes in the region, was followed by his burial in Dandalla Village on March 24.
Nevertheless, concerns have arisen regarding the circumstances surrounding Dogo Gide’s hospital admission.
It has come to light that a security official, now under detention, allegedly facilitated his access to medical care, raising apprehensions about potential collusion within the security apparatus.
The successful elimination of Dogo Gide stands as a significant accomplishment for the Nigerian security forces.
