Wanted Bandits Kingpin, Ado Aleru Holds ‘Peace Meeting’ With Katsina Communities, Nigerian Army Officers
The notorious bandits kingpin, Ado Aleru, who remains on the wanted list of Nigerian security forces, has again surfaced publicly — this time leading a peace meeting in Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The parley, aimed at fostering peaceful coexistence between Fulani herders and other communities, was attended by personnel of the Nigerian Army, community leaders, and several bandit groups, including Aleru’s faction.
Despite his status as a fugitive, Aleru was seen actively participating in the discussions and addressing the gathering.
A peace meeting was held with bandits in Danmusa Local Government Area, where Ado Aleru, who has been declared highly wanted, was seen giving a speech about measures to be taken between the Fulani and other communities to ensure peaceful coexistence.
This isn’t the first time Ado Aleru is seen holding peace talks with communities and the government but he will again be seen attacking innocent communities.
Same Ado Aleru was conferred with a Traditional Title in Zamfara during Bello Matawalle’s administration who is also the current Minister of State for Defence.
A peace parley was held between residents of Dan-Musa and bandits in Dan-Musa LGA, Katsina State.
Attendees included Nigerian Army, community leaders and several bandits groups including notorious leader Ado Aleru.
Meanwhile, SaharaReporters had reported in July 2022 that Ada Aleru was declared wanted by the Katsina State Police Command in 2019 with a bounty of N5million put on his head.
Deadly attacks have raged across Zamfara state where bandits have thrived.
In 2019, the state government signed a peace agreement with the gunmen.
About 15 brand new Hilux vehicles and cash gifts were also given to leaders of different ‘repentant’ gangs of bandits by the governor in 2020.
But despite all these, communities in the state are still being attacked and residents kidnapped and/or killed.(SaharaReporters)
