A mob of angry villagers has killed five bandits and one
other knocked down in Sanga and Lere Local Government Areas (LGAs)
of Kaduna State, security agencies have reported on
Friday.

The Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs in
Kaduna, Samuel Aruwan, who confirmed the incident noted that it
occurred on Thursday.

Two of the bandits killed had attacked a businessman and
dispossessed him of his money and other valuables at Fadan Karshi
in Sanga LGA.

Aruwan explained that on receiving the information of the
attack, the military and police set out to the location.

When they arrived at the scene, the security officials found out
that some angry residents had already mobbed the bandits and burnt
them to ashes.

The commissioner disclosed that elsewhere in the same local
government, some bandits opened fire on motorists plying the
Aboro-Kafanchan Road.

In the process of the shooting, bullets hit one Richard Sabo who
knocked down one of the bandits to death while he was struggling to
control the vehicle.

Aruwan noted that Sabo was later rushed to the General Hospital
in Gwantu, where he died of the bullet wounds he sustained during
the incident.

In Lere LGA, security agencies reported that some bandits from a
neighbouring state who specialised in stealing livestock were also
killed by a mob.

The commissioner revealed that the bandits were chased and
overpowered at Domawa village, where three of them met their end in
the hands of the angry residents.

On a sad note, he said the government received a report of the
killing of a commercial motorcyclist, one Hudu Yahaya of Ungwan
Nungu village of Sanga LGA.

Yahaya was beheaded by the bandits who escaped with his
motorcycle, said Aruwan.

In his reaction, Governor Nasir El-Rufai condoled with the
families of Sabo and Yahaya, and prayed for the repose of their
souls.

He also made a strong appeal to residents to continue to have
recourse to the law and not resort to jungle justice.
