HALILU BUZU, a terrorist leader from the Republic of Niger, has been declared wanted for various criminal activities in the northern parts of the country.
Director of Defence Media Operations, DMO, Maj. General Edward Buba, disclosed this in Abuja at the bi-weekly briefing of Defence Correspondents on the ongoing military operations by the Armed Forces of Nigeria, AFN, and other security agencies across the various theatres of operations in the six geo-political zones against insurgent activities.
According to General Buba, “the wanted terrorist leader is based in the Subbubu Forest and also resides in the Shinkafi Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
“He has a camp for illegal gold mining located at Kawayi in the Anka Local Government Area of Zamfara State and has many boys working for him. He is also a prominent cattle rustler.”
General Buba further explained that last week, his boys killed 19 villagers at Farar Kasa.
“He is a High-Value Target, and we hereby declare him wanted,” General Buba stated.
“Furthermore, he is a major arms supplier, trusted by arms dealers supplying arms from Libya.
“We have been on his trail, and whenever we close in on him, he bolts across the border into the Republic of Niger for refuge.
“At this time, through appropriate channels, we are calling on the Nigerien authorities, regional, and international bodies to support in effecting his arrest to hold him accountable for his atrocities.”
