 More than 100,000 children have been displaced by the latest escalation in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, UNICEF said on Sunday, warning the numbers are expected to rise as violence spreads. Since Dec. 1, intense fighting has uprooted more than 500,000 people, with children accounting for over 100,000 of those displaced in South Kivu alone, the UN agency said in a statement released Sunday. It said since Dec. 2, hundreds have been killed in the fighting, and children have been among the victims, with four students killed, six injured, and at least seven schools attacked or damaged. The rapid escalation has forced hundreds of thousands of children and families to flee within Congo and into neighboring Burundi and Rwanda, it added. Many people fleeing the violence have crossed into Burundi, with over 50,000 new arrivals reported between Dec. 6 and 11, nearly half of them children, UNICEF said, adding that the numbers are expected to rise as more displaced are identified. “Chi...

KDSG: NOTORIOUS BAMDIT COMMANDER KACHALLA TUKUR SHARME, OTHER BANDITS KILLED IN FRATRICIDAL CLASH. (PHOTO). #PRESS RELEASE.


 KDSG Security Update: Monday, 23rd September 2024. 


Notorious bandit commander Kachalla Tukur Sharme, other bandits killed in fratricidal clash 


-Several bandits left with life threatening injuries 


As the maxim has foretold, those who live by the sword, certainly die by the sword. 


After diligent follow-up operations and exploitation of vast human intelligence networks, it can be happily reported that the notorious bandit commander Kachalla Tukur Sharme, and other bandits, have been killed in a fratricidal clash. 


Aside Sharme, two other bandits from a rival group were killed in the fierce gun duel, which also enabled some kidnapped citizens escape from captivity. 


According to intelligence sources, five bandits were injured in the clash and are presently lurking in the area, seeking paramedics to manage their wounds. 


Sharme, a notorious bandit who had butchered many citizens, kidnapped hundreds and rustled innumerable herds of cattle, met his end in a battle between his group and an opposing gang. 


The clash occurred at the weekend, around a location referred to as 'Hambakko', in the Rijana and Kaso Forests which span Kachia and parts of Chikun and Kajuru LGAs. 


Sharme had several times escaped the crosshairs of security forces by a mere whisker, and remained hotly sought after before he was gunned down by fellow terrorists. 


Sharme and his gang of bandits were largely responsible for attacks, killings and kidnappings in Millenium City, Maraban Rido, Kujama, Kajuru, Maro, villages in Kateri general area and other locations in adjoining LGAs of Kagarko, Kachia and Birnin Gwari.  This was in addition to his criminal acts in neighboring states of Katsina and Niger which were also left reeling from the waves of his terrorism. 


One of the most heinous acts perpetrated by Kachalla Sharme was the kidnapping of 121 students of Bethel Baptist High School, Kujama, Kaduna State on 5th July, 2021. 

In the course of repelling Sharme and his gang of terrorists, two personnel of the security forces paid the supreme price. 


Residents of Rijana, Kaso, Kasarami, Jaka da-Rabi, Kajuru and Dutse general areas and beyond, are warned not render any assistance to suspicious persons seeking treatment for gun wounds. They are urged instead to contact the nearest security forces or reach the Kaduna State Security Operations Room on the following lines: 


09034000060

08170189999


As is standard practice, such information received will be treated with the highest sense of confidentiality.
