Auwal Daudawa, the bandit who was pardoned after he
masterminded the abduction over 300 schoolboys in Kankara, Katsina state, has
been reportedly killed.
Daudawa was killed days after returning to the forest to
take up arms, according to Ibrahim Zauma, new media aide to Bello Matawalle,
Zamfara state governor.
Zauma said on Friday that the bandits’ leader was killed
while “trying to rustle.”
Writing via his Twitter handle, he said: “Barely nine days after Auwalun Daudawa returned to the jungle after swearing oath on the Glorious Quran never to go back to banditry, he met his waterloo! He was killed while trying to rustle.”

Daudawa had confessed to kidnapping the Kankara students in
2020.
On Wednesday, citing his close contacts, Daily
Trust reported that the bandit had taken up arms again, just weeks
after he claimed to have repented.
He was said to have been “frustrated” by “the lack of proper
engagement” for him and his family after the Zamfara government undertook the
responsibility to cater to his welfare.
In February, the
bandits’ leader surrendered his arms, which included 20 AK 47 rifles and
a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher, claiming to have turned over
a new leaf.
He was received at the Zamfara government house where he
announced that “we have voluntarily repented.”
