Bandits Demand N40 Trillion, 11 Hilux Vans, 150 Bikes As Ransom For Kaduna Victims

One of the notorious bandits terrorising residents of North West, Ummaru Nagona has fallen to the superior firepower of the military.

Nagona in some of his missions attacked the eastern areas of Sokoto, especially the villages in Isa and Sabon City.

The bandit while still alive, worked with other gang members to make the lives of residents in the affected areas a living hell.

A former Daily Trust Editor who covered insecurity extensively, Abdulaziz Abdulaziz while commenting on the killing of the bandit wrote, “I just received confirmation of the killing of the big gunman, Ummaru Nagona in arangama with Nigerian Army Atilare’s military car was carried on a motorbike along with the boy who supported him on their way to the rescue as a result of attacks on the gunmen camp in Kagara area east of Shinkafi (in Zamfara State).

“I met Ummaru Nagona on a visit to Bello Turji in December 2021. If you see him you don’t say he’s a gunman. Evil has no resemblance!”
