A combined team of security operatives comprising of military and police personnel as well as the vigilante group, has eliminated a notorious Lakurawa kingpin, Maigemu, that hitherto has been terrorising innocent souls in Kebbi State.
The Director of Security, Cabinet Office, Birnin Kebbi, Alhaji AbdulRahman Usman Zagga, disclosed this to newsmen on Friday, stating that Maigemu was neutralized on Thursday after a fierce gun battle between the operatives and the criminals at Kuncin Baba in Arewa Local Government Area, a remote area with challenging terrain.
He said the success came just a week after Kebbi State Governor, Comrade Dr. Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu, visited Bagiza and Rausa Kade communities in Arewa Local Government to condole with residents over the killing of six people by suspected Lakurawa cattle rustlers.
“During the Governor’s visit, he assured the affected communities of immediate security reinforcements and strategic measures to tackle criminal activities in the area.
‘ Today, his proactive approach has yielded results with the elimination of this kingpin. His corpse is available as evidence,” Zagga stated.
He commended Governor Idris for his commitment to security and the continuous logistic support provided to security personnel, especially those on special operations.
The Director also urged residents to cooperate with security agencies by sharing intelligence and reporting suspicious activities in their areas to ensure prompt security response that would lead to lasting peace in the state.
