On March 6, 2026, Nigerian military forces killed 45 armed bandits in a clash near Danmusa, Katsina State, following a cattle raid on Alhazawa village by attackers from Zamfara State.
The initial assault was repelled by local residents and former bandits, who killed four attackers and recovered livestock.
The bandits regrouped and were intercepted by troops at a forward operating base, resulting in a fierce gunfight.
Among the dead were two senior commanders, Alti—nephew and second-in-command of bandit leader Adamu Alieru—and Damale.
Three Nigerian soldiers, including Captain Paul Hassan, were killed.
