Yellow Jambros Surrender Marks Victory Against Crime, Says DHQ
The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has announced that Yellow Jambros, a notorious kidnap kingpin previously reported killed in a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) airstrike in 2023, has surrendered to authorities.
His surrender is part of a wave of capitulations by terrorists, especially in Nigeria’s north-central region.
This development follows sustained military operations and collaborative non-kinetic strategies aimed at encouraging defections from terrorist groups.
This turn of events is notable given past reports of his death during an operation in Niger State. At that time, he was linked to multiple kidnappings and killings across Kaduna, Niger, Katsina, and Zamfara states.
The military remains committed to maintaining pressure on terrorist networks while continuing to rescue hostages and recover stolen assets.
