A combined team of security operatives, including vigilantes, has eliminated a notorious Lakurawa kingpin, known as Maigemu, in Kebbi State.
According to a statement from the Director of Security at the Cabinet Office, Alhaji AbdulRahman Usman Zagga, Maigemu was neutralized on Thursday at Kuncin Baba in Arewa Local Government Area — a location known for its challenging terrain — following a fierce gun battle.
The statement noted that this success came just a week after Kebbi State Governor, Comrade Nasir Idris, visited Bagiza and Rausa Kade communities in Arewa Local Government Area to commiserate with residents over the killing of six people by suspected Lakurawa cattle rustlers.
It further highlighted that the governor's proactive approach to security has begun to yield results, with the killing of the kingpin serving as a significant breakthrough. Maigemu’s corpse, the statement added, has been deposited at Sir Yahaya Memorial Hospital as evidence.
Zagga urged residents to cooperate with security agencies by providing useful intelligence and reporting suspicious activities in their communities to ensure lasting peace across the state.
