Bandits’ commanders arrested with 160 cows

Police said they had arrested four bandits’ commanders who admitted they were close to Muhammadu Lawali alias General, the leader of the dreaded group of gunmen terrorising Zamfara State and neighbouring states.

Parading the suspects at the command’s headquarters in Gusau at the weekend, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Sanusi Amiru, said the team of Police Mobile Personnel (PMP) patrolling Keta forest in Tsafe Local Government Area engaged the bandits where four commanders were arrested while the rest escaped into the forest. He said:
“In the course of exchanging fire, our men were able to arrest four leaders of the dreaded group who operate closely with the ring leader, Muhammadu Lawali aka General and each has a duty attached to the shielding of stolen cows from any recovery attempt by either the owners or security personnel.”
One of the suspects, Adamu Shehu, told journalists that he was in charge of feeding all the stolen cows in possession of the ring leader, Lawali, while his colleagues identified as Saminu Jamilu and Ibrahim Musa were the ones training militants.
