Three infamous bandit leaders terrorizing communities in Zamfara State have reportedly experienced a decline in their mental health, resulting in disorder among their armed followers.
Security expert Zagazola Malama reported that intelligence sources confirmed the development as a significant result following the battle against banditry in the northern part of the country.
He said the three bandit commanders, Kachalla Dan Baba, Kachalla Abu Guddi, and Kachalla Bello Kurma, have suddenly shown signs of severe psychological distress.
This has led their gang members to disarm them and leave them to roam aimlessly in the forests.
this incident, which occurred on March 27, 2025, has thrown their criminal factions into disarray, prompting speculation among the public regarding the potential reasons behind their abrupt mental collapse.
The Operational Power Of The Three Bandit Leaders
According to reports, Kachalla Dan Baba was the head of a significant criminal organization based in Kudo village, adjacent to Buzaya Forest in the Maru Local Government Area.
He commanded over 50 fighters and was responsible for numerous kidnappings, highway ambushes, and cattle rustling activities across Zamfara and neighboring regions.
“With their leaders gone mad, their gangs will either scatter or seek new alliances. This gives us an opportunity to strike harder and eliminate them before they reorganize,” the source reportedly said.
