The mastermind of Kankara schools boys in Katsina, Auwalun Daudawa, has been killed by a rival bandit gang.
Zamfara State Commissiner for Security and Home Affairs, Abubakar Dauran, confirmed the incident.
He said Daudawa was killed after he murdered somebody and rustled his cattle.
Dauran said that he was killed in Dumburum forest located between Zurmi local government in Zamfara State and Batsari Local Government in Katsina State,
Daudawa was recently reported to have gone back to banditry, less than three months after his celebrated repentance and was given amnesty.
“After he swore by the Qur’an never to go back to his old ways, we heard that he went back under the guise of going to attend wedding of his relatives but he instead resumed his illegal activities ” Dauran said.
“We heard that he killed someone and attempted to rustle his cattle but the other people in the forest rose up to him and killed him in the process.”
