The Commissioner for Security and Home Affairs in Zamfara State, Abubakar Dauran, who made the discloure said that Daudawa left Gusau, Zamfara Capital, two days ago.

He reportedly told some people that he was going to attend one of his relatives’ wedding.

According to the commissioner, the bandit rustled over 100 cows and killed the herdsman in charge.

Dauran said in retaliation, some people around the area organised and killed him too.
