KATSINA, NIGERIA — A deeply disturbing and scandalous look into Nigeria’s compromised war against terror has been leaked to the public. In a secret, lengthy audio recording spoken in Hausa, notorious bandit kingpin Kachalla Muhammadu has blown the lid off major military sabotage, declaring that rogue elements within the Nigerian Armed Forces are actively serving as his personal informants—shielding him from being neutralized by the state.
Kachalla Muhammadu, the dreaded warlord responsible for the high-profile abduction of the former Director of Defence Information, retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, boasted that the very military sent to eliminate him is providing real-time data to aid his escape.
The Shocking Claims of Military Sabotage
The leaked phone call between the terror leader and an unnamed mediator exposes how deep the rot of institutional collusion goes. Muhammadu confidently asserted that the Bola Tinubu administration and the military high command can never capture or kill him because their plans are compromised from within.
“The military you are sending to come and kill me are the same people who are giving me information to change my location and run,” the bandit leader declared in the audio. “Whenever they are sent to come and eliminate me, some of them will call to inform me firsthand. They guide me with real-time locations as they are advancing, so I can simply change position and escape.”
This chilling revelation strikes at the heart of the failure of the military’s North-West operations, confirming long-held suspicions that multi-million Naira intelligence-driven operations are routinely undermined by informants wearing official military uniforms.
Dismantling the Government’s Lie on General Rabe’s Death
The leaked audio also completely shatters the official narrative surrounding the tragic demise of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, who died in captivity earlier this month after being abducted alongside his wife, Hajiya Amina, in Matazu, Katsina State.
The Defence Headquarters and the federal government had previously announced that the decorated general succumbed to severe medical complications arising from diabetes and hypertension due to the harsh conditions of captivity. However, Kachalla Muhammadu has branded that claim a “big, fat lie.”
According to the warlord, General Rabe was bitten by a lethal snake inside the forest hideout. Muhammadu admitted he deliberately watched the senior military officer die without offering any medical intervention, purely out of spite because the Katsina State Government was “playing games” and refused to satisfy his demands during negotiations.

A Terrifying Ultimatum to Governor Radda: June 29 Deadline
Blowing hot during the recorded conversation, the bandit kingpin issued a brutal, blood-chilling ultimatum to Governor Dikko Radda’s administration. He gave the state government until June 29, 2026, with a maximum one-week grace period, to meet his demands or face unprecedented bloodshed.
Muhammadu is demanding the immediate release of two of his fighters currently being held in security detention, alongside the return of his confiscated cattle. Failure to comply will result in a scorched-earth campaign targeting innocent civilians.
“If they do not meet my demands, I will launch fresh attacks and kill at least 200 people in the state,” Muhammadu threatened. He added a sinister twist, promising that if Katsina complies, he will leave the state entirely and relocate his operations to his home state of Kano to begin pillaging villages there instead.
The 247ureports Takeaway: The Danger of a Mercenary Mindset
This explosive leak provides definitive proof of why the Nigerian government’s controversial policies of dialogue, amnesty, and reintegration of “repentant” bandits are deeply flawed. A terrorist driven by blood money will remain a terrorist, and recruiting such elements or harboring their sympathizers within the military architecture is an existential threat to the nation.
With the June 29 deadline expiring tomorrow, panic is gripping rural communities across Katsina State. The true test now lies with the Defence Headquarters and the Katsina State Government: will they scramble to secure the still-captive wife of the late General, Hajiya Amina, and flush out the informants within their ranks, or will they let the warlord dictate the terms of national security?
247ureports is closely monitoring the situation in Katsina as the tense deadline approaches. Stay tuned for emergency updates.
