🛡 Bandit kingpin among 60+ killed in Katsina operation

More than 60 suspected bandits, including kingpin Idi Abasu Aiki, were killed during a security operation in Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State, according to security analyst Zagazola Makama.

The operation was launched after intelligence indicated that over 200 armed bandits, allegedly led by Aiki, were mobilising for a reprisal attack on communities accused of collaborating with local vigilante groups. The DSS and vigilantes moved to foil the planned assault.

Katsina State has faced persistent banditry, with armed groups frequently targeting rural communities in the northwest region.
