The reign of Kachalla Isuhu Yellow, who was formerly considered a notorious bandit commander and the younger brother of Ado Alero, has ended. 

Gunmen loyal to another bandit warlord, Dogo Gide, retaliated against the victim at Dan Jibga Market in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State today and shot him dead.

Sources informed International News Syndicate that the terrorist kingpin had a clash with the troops of Operation FANSAN YAMMA, forces, and the vigilante group at approximately 1700 hours in Keita village in Tsafe District of Zamfara State.

Three local vigilantes died while 9 bandits were neutralized. Dan Isuhu, their leader, was wounded and fled. 

Dan Isuhu Yellow was attacked by another bandit fighter loyal to Dogo Gide inside a shop owned by Alhaji Dan Habu, known for selling clothing materials. 

The attacker stormed the market and opened fire, making it impossible for Dan Isuhu Yellow to escape.
His murder occurs just two days following a violent fight between him and another prominent bandit leader, Kachalla Bakin Sifindi. 

On March 25, 2025, Isuhu Yellow killed Bakin Sifindi and one of his close associates near Sabon Birni, between the forests of Munhaye and Tsafe.

Longstanding tensions between rival bandit factions were rekindled by the attack. 

Dogo Gide, a feared bandit leader operating in Zamfara and Niger States, saw the killing of Bakin Sifindi as a direct provocation.

Gide, already seeking revenge, mobilized his men to locate Isuhu Yellow, who had already sustained injuries from encounters with troops, which led to today's assassination at Dan Jibga Market.

For a long time, Diego Gide has been trying to catch Isuhu Yellow. After the attack on Bakin Sifindi, Gide's men were adamant about eliminating him. 

Alhaji Hassan Attahiru, the Emir of Bungudu, was kidnapped by him on the Kaduna-Abuja expressway in 2021 and he was also held accountable.

In 2022, Alhaji Abu Furfuri was reported to have abducted children and collected more than 60 million in ransom. 

The 2022 abduction of three female students from the Federal University Gusau (FUG). Aside from kidnappings, Isuhu Yellow was notorious for killing security personnel, ambushing police and military convoys, and resisting multiple security operations aimed at neutralizing him.

In 2022, Alhaji Abu Furfuri was reportedly responsible for abducting children and collecting over ₦60 million in ransom.
