Bandit kingpin Idi Abasu Aiki, 60 others killed in Katsina raid
A notorious bandit leader, Idi Abasu Aiki, and more than 60 other suspected bandits were reportedly killed during an intelligence-led security operation in Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State.
Makama said the operation was launched after intelligence indicated that over 200 armed bandits, allegedly led by Aiki, were mobilising for a reprisal attack on communities accused of collaborating with local security groups protecting villages in the area.
The operation, according to security analyst Zagazola Makama, was carried out by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) with support from members of the Katsina State Community Vigilantes and specially trained local hunters.
