Auwalun Daudawa, the alleged mastermind of the abduction of some students from a secondary school in Kankara, Katsina state, has “repented”.

Daudawa and five of his lieutenants surrendered 20 AK 47 rifles, ammunition and a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launcher.

In December, over 300 schoolboys were abducted from their school. The students regained their freedom after spending a week in captivity.

Bello Matawalle, governor of Zamfara, had said the boys were rescued through the help of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and that no ransom was paid.


Speaking after he took an oath of repentance on Monday at the government house in Gusau, Zamfara capital, the bandit said his gang voluntarily surrendered and are not seeking money from any individual or government.

“We have voluntarily repented and seek no single kobo from any government, group or individual for that,” he said.

“I was convinced by the state government approaches on peace reconciliation with armed bandits, I learnt from those repented before me that, there was not single plan by the governments through use of security agencies to harm me and my boys, therefore, we are now back for normal lives like other peace-loving Nigerians.”


On his part, Matawalle said the development is as a result of his administration’s efforts to ensure that there is peace in Zamfara.

“The development will not only gradually paste the name of Zamfara unto the list of most peaceful places in the country, but will facilitate the return of the lost commercial enterprising to the state,” the governor said.

The governor said his administration is working to ensure that farming and cattle rearing would be the only activities in the state’s forest.

Before all the staged repentance and amnesty why didn't the military who knew his location and circled it during the abduction act?

MikeBetty:
And fg and state govt who pratically paid ransom are watching helplessly. A terrorist will now come out to freely enjoy the ransom. Fg encouraging crime unwittenly.

Racoon:

Garba Shehu via the usual "presidency" said the Kankara school boys were rescued by repentant bandits while the same military through Maj.Gen Enenche who told a bewildered nation that the military was involved in an operation wherein he alleged the military was using kinetic & non-kinetic approach.

Yet nobody was wounded or died.No ransome was paid nor any bandit arrested or killed? Believe these idiots in government & get kidnap or killed.

Agboriotejoye:
The words in bold are the most annoying I've ever heard from any military. I wonder what it means anyway
