Reports from North West Nigeria says Mai Jakka, a feared bandit who turned social media celebrity by flaunting his exploits, has finally met his end.
He was reportedly killed in an operation carried out in Garaji village, located in the Mayanchi axis of Zamfara State.
The news was confirmed in a post on X (formerly Twitter) by the Senior Special Assistant on New Media to the Governor of Kaduna State, Abdallah Yunus Abdallah who cited intelligence reports from the area.
He wrote, “Reports coming out of Mayanchi axis of Zamfara reports that the security forces have eliminated notorious bandit TikToker Mai Jakka in Garaji village.”
Although details are still emerging, residents of the region are beginning to breathe a little easier.
Mai Jakka wasn’t just any bandit — he became infamous for glamorizing violence on TikTok, turning scenes of destruction into viral content, and mocking the pain of those he dealt with.
Authorities are yet to issue an official statement, but sources suggest the operation was part of a broader crackdown targeting high-profile terrorists in the region.
