Notorious bandit leaders surrender to Army in Katsina
Several notorious bandit leaders responsible for terrorizing Batsari, Safana, and Jibia Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Katsina State have reportedly surrendered to the Nigerian Army.
According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, the bandits who surrendered include Abu Radda, Umar Black, Abdullahi Lankai, Jijjige, and Dabar Musa Dan Gandu— all of whom previously operated from the Jibia axis.
Security sources revealed that the bandits decided to embrace a peace deal and surrender due to sustained military operations in the region. As part of their surrender, they handed over their weapons to the troops and released several hostages.
