Security forces have neutralised a notorious bandit and TikTok personality, Mai Jakka, during a targeted operation in Garaji village, Mayanchi area of Zamfara State.
Mai Jakka was reportedly behind a series of violent attacks and had gained notoriety online for flaunting weapons and mocking security efforts. His killing is being hailed as a significant breakthrough in the ongoing campaign against banditry in the North-West.
Security sources say the operation marks a key step in restoring peace and stability to the region, long plagued by armed groups.
Authorities have vowed to sustain the pressure on criminal elements across Zamfara and neighbouring states.
