Bandit Commander Surrenders

Six more bandits led by their leader called Auwalu Daudawa surrendered 28 AK 47 rifles, with 27 magazines, and General Machine Gun to Zamfara state government on Monday.

About ten days ago six repentant bandits submitted 14 rifles to the state authorities pledging to renounce armed banditry and other forms of crimes.

The repentant bandits, who swore by the Qur’an in Government House, declared that they would not go back to banditry.

Their leader, Auwalu Daudawa, also promised to convince those who were yet to repent to do so.
