Four Bandit Leaders Surrender In Katsina, Give Up 45 Rustled Cattle, Machine Guns

Four bandit leaders responsible for terrorizing parts of Katsina
State have voluntarily surrendered to security forces, according to
Police Commissioner Sanusi Buba.

Speaking on the development at a press briefing on Thursday,
Buba said he was optimistic that a number of followers of the
repentant bandits would emulate their leaders and quit banditry and
related acts.

We are not begging or even persuading them to surrender,’ the
commissioner said, adding that ‘the Nigeria Police force and other
sister security agencies will leave no stone unturned in isolating
and dealing decisively with individuals and groups of unrepentant
bandits who refuse to surrender and keep hibernating in the
forests.

‘The Command wishes to assure the good people of the state that
banditry and other crimes will soon become history as the security
forces are on top of the situation.’

He said that the repentant bandits also surrendered a cache of
weapons, including two general-purpose machine guns, 23 AK-47
assault rifles, 109 GPMG ammunition, and 45 rustled cows, among
other items.
