A combined team of security operatives, including vigilantes, has eliminated a notorious Lakurawa kingpin, Maigemu, in Kebbi State.
The Director of Security, Cabinet Office, Birnin Kebbi, Alhaji AbdulRahman Usman Zagga, disclosed this on Friday, stating that Maigemu was neutralized on Thursday at Kuncin Baba in Arewa Local Government, a remote area with challenging terrain, after a fierce gun battle.
This success comes 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 logistical support provided to security personnel, especially those on special operations.
Zagga also urged residents to cooperate with security agencies by sharing intelligence and reporting suspicious activities in their areas to ensure lasting peace in the state.
