A notorious kidnapper, Dogo Oro, has been killed by local vigilantes in Tunga village, Bunza Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
Dogo was reported killed on Friday when he launched attacks in the area, shooting at people with bows and arrows in one of the villages in the Kanzanna area.
The Director of Security, Cabinet Office, Birnin Kebbi, AbdulRahman Usman, revealed this to newsmen in Birnin Kebbi.
The suspected terrorist, according to Usman, had been serially perpetrating terrorism in Bunza local government, kidnapping innocent villagers and demanding ransom.
Usman noted that “‘in an attempt to kidnap his victims using bows and arrows, and shooting at them, the vigilante shot him dead.”
He said that with the successful operation by the local vigilantes, the residents of the communities would now go about their normal business activities unhindered with the security of their lives and properties guaranteed.
While applauding the gallant efforts of the vigilantes in supporting other security operatives, Usman also appreciated the unending support of Governor Nasir Idris Kauran Gwandu, in making sure that the security challenges being experienced in some areas of the state were critically addressed.
‘’The Kauran Gwandu-led administration is on its toes to keep Kebbi people and their properties safe. He maintains regular security meetings, regular logistic support to the security personnel; he set up a combined a security task force team comprising all the security agencies in order to address banditry and all forms of criminality in the State,” he explained.
