Notorious Bandit Leader, Mastermind Of Kankara Boys Abduction, Killed
Notorious bandit leader Auwalun Daudawa, who led the abduction of over 300 Government Science Secondary School Kankara, Katsina State, has been killed, government sources confirmed on Friday.
Daudawa had laid down his arms and accepted Governor Bello Matawalle’s peace initiative on February 8.
But a few days ago, it was reported that Daudawa had returned to the forest to continue his banditry.
Confirming his killing to Channels Television via a telephone conversation, the Commissioner for Security and Home Affairs in Zamfara State, Abubakar Dauran said Daudawa left Gusau two days ago.
He had reportedly told some people that he was going to attend one of his relatives’ weddings.
However, he rustled over 100 cows and killed the herdsman in charge, the Commissioner said.
In retaliation, some people around the area organized and killed him too.
Daudawa had surrendered 20 AK-47 rifles, 20 Magazines, one General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), one Rocket-Propelled Grenade (RPG) and several ammunitions to the Zamfara State government on the day he repented with five of his comrades.
