A security operative has been arrested for assisting notorious bandits kingpin, Dogo Gide, to a hospital before his death.

Dogo, who was involved with ANSARU and other significant terrorist organisations, died in a hospital in Sokoto as a result of gunshot injuries sustained during a clash with Operation Hadarin Daji (OPHD) forces.

Imran Muhammad, in a statement posted on his X platform on Wednesday, March 27, disclosed that Dogo was assisted to the hospital by a security operative who has now been detained.

Imran wrote: “His appearance at the hospital was supposedly made easier by a security official who is currently detained, prompting concerns about potential cooperation within the security forces.”

He added that, “The successful elimination of Dogo Gide represents a notable achievement for the Nigerian security forces, showcasing the collaborative endeavors of 1 Division and 8 Division of the Nigerian Army.”
