As he promised, the leader of the forest bandits in the Musawa, Matazu Local Government, Kachalla Muhammadu, who killed Major General Rabe Abubakar, yesterday on Monday evening launched an attack in Kano areas just as he pledged in a phone audio clip that went viral on social media, where he killed Ward Head Malam Yusuf Adamu of Taka Tsaba ward in Tsanyawa Local Government Area of Kano State.
Kachalla Maha and his boys stole cattle in the village of 'Yan Kamaye in Tsanyawa LGA. However, soldiers working together with vigilantes and C-Watch members overpowered the bandits in the clash that happened. It was confirmed that some of the bandits were injured. It was also confirmed that all the stolen cattle were recovered, and they were returned to their owners, while the bandits fled for their lives.
But often, there are reports of bandits appearing in the areas of Funtua and Matazu and Malumfashi and Kankara and Musawa and Niger and Zamfara and almost all parts where the insecurity problem is worst. Yet many people turn a deaf ear to the matter, and that is what is putting more lives at risk.
At the very least, if you hear that they have been seen around your village, even if you do nothing else, take steps to protect yourself. If you have the courage, try to stop them from passing through, even if it means fighting back.
