A WANTED TERROR LEADER, Dogo Gide who is known for terrorising Niger, Zamfara and Kaduna has killed over 20 fighters of Boko Haram faction led by Sadiku in a factional clash in the North.
In a video circulating online, Gide triumphantly showcased a trove of weapons purportedly seized from the defeated Sadiku group, including 10 AK-47 rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, mobile phones and an identification card belonging to a member of Sadiku’s faction. The video and report links are archived here and here.
In a video captured, Gide declared, “Sadiku and his men ambushed us, but we prevailed. Our losses were minimal, while their casualties amounted to at least 20.”

He condemned the Sadiku faction for its brutal tactics, accusing them of ruthlessly targeting innocent civilians, including women and children, in the guise of religious extremism.
According to Zagazola Makama on his X handle, this decisive victory highlights the intricate and ever-evolving power struggles within the region, where various criminal and extremist groups engage in a complex web of alliances and bitter rivalries.
The conflict between Gide and the Sadiku faction is deeply rooted in personal vendetta, ignited by the tragic killing of Gide’s brother, Sani, by Boko Haram in 2023. This act of violence ignited a fierce desire for revenge, fuelling Gide’s relentless campaign to expel Boko Haram elements from his sphere of influence.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the fluid and unpredictable nature of the security situation in the North West.
