According to reports, the terror kingpin was later taken to a hospital in Sokoto where he eventually died. A picture showing a man with little resemblance to Mr Gide was shared on social media to substantiate his rumoured death An intelligence source monitoring terror reigns in Dansadau, Maru LGA of Zamfara State where Mr Gide and his gang have established camps, especially inside Babandoka, Dan Gurgu and Kuyambana forests, said the terror kingpin died last Thursday, two weeks after a gun duel with military operatives trailing the abductors of the Kuriga students.

“That he died in a hospital in Sokoto as people claimed is a big lie,” he emphasised. “Dogo Gide died in Zamfara.”Locals close to Mr Gide in Kebbi and Zamafara, however, gave a different account of what happened, although they too said he sustained gunshot wounds following a clash with the military operatives a few hours after the Kuriga students were kidnapped.

However, others are still finding it hard to ascertain the condition of Mr Gide, including the military. “Some months ago, Dogo Gide sustained injuries and fled the country to treat himself,” Mr Getso told PREMIUM TIMES, refusing to disclose the country the terror kingpin escaped to. The following year, they kidnapped three Chinese expatriates and then two security guards and another Chinese national at a construction site of the Zungeru Hydro-electric Power Dam project in Shiroro LGA. Although it was not clear how two of the expatriates regained freedom, one of them was later released from Mr Gide’s camp.
