The notorious bandit leader, Auwalun Daudawa, who led the abduction of over 300 students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State, has been killed.
He was killed just nine days after he returned to the forest to continue banditry after he had sworn not to.
He was said to have been killed by a rival gang which went on a revenge mission.
The announcement of his death was made by Ibrahim Bello Zauma, the New Media aide to Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State, on his Twitter handle.
His tweets: “Just in: Barely nine days after Auwalun Daudawa returned to the jungle after swearing oath on the Glorious Quran never to go back to banditry, he met his waterloo! He was killed while trying to rustle.”
Daudawa led the banditry operation that led to the kidnapping of 300 students in Katsina in December of last year.
He however later laid down his arms and accepted Governor Bello Matawalle’s peace initiative.
During the occasion, he surrendered 20 AK-47 rifles, 20 Magazines, one General Purpose Machine Gun, one Rocket-Propelled Grenade and several ammunitions to Zamfara State government.
