Terrorists, banditry activities in Northwest have reduced – Shehu Sani
Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Central Senator, has disclosed a decrease in the activities of terrorists and bandits in the Northwest.
Sani said the recent killings of some top terrorists’ leaders could have been responsible for the decrease.
Posting on X, the former lawmaker wrote: “In the last few weeks, there is a noticeable decrease in terrorist and banditry attacks and kidnappings in the North Western parts of this country.
“The elimination of some of the top terrorist leaders must have been responsible.This is commendable and should be sustained.”
In the past weeks, notable bandit leaders have been killed in the North.
Those eliminated include- Haliru Kachalla Sububu or Buzu, Kachalla Tukur Sharme (killed by rival gang), Sani Black, another prominent bandit leader, killed along with his brother and two children, Kachalla Makore, Kachalla Mai Shayi Kachalla Tsoho Lulu and Mai’Yar Gitta.
Gitta lost his life after sustaining injuries during a recent encounter with his fellow bandits following a fierce confrontation with troops at Dankurmi village in Dansadau Local Government Area but he escaped.
However, the notorious bandit leader was confirmed dead on Sunday, at Kawaye village in Bagega Ward, Anka Local Government Area due to the injuries he sustained.
