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.
The former bandits have appealed to the government for alternative means of livelihood, requesting engagement in projects such as market and hospital construction. They vowed to abandon criminal activities and reintegrate into society.
Their surrender was reportedly facilitated by the National Community for Security and Societal Advancement in Katsina (NCSOSACK), led by Hamisa Batsari.
