Bandit Leaders Surrender To Troops In Katsina, Free Hostages by TimeManager(op): 3:57pm On Feb 12, 2025
Several notorious bandit leaders, terrorising Batsari, Safana, and Jibia LGAs of Katsina, have reportedly surrendered to the troops of the Nigerian Army.

Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, identified those who surrendered as Abu Radda, Umar Black, Abdullahi Lankai, Jijjige, and Dabar Musa Dan Gandu, who have all operated from the Jibia axis.

The publication quoted security sources as saying the bandits embraced the peace deal and surrendered following sustained military operations in the region.

Makama said the repentant bandits handed over their weapons to the troops and released several hostages they had abducted.

According to the publication, the former bandits appealed to the government to provide them with alternative means of livelihood, requesting engagement in the construction of markets and hospitals.

They vowed to embrace peace and end their involvement in criminal activities, it added.

Their surrender was reportedly facilitated by the National Community for Security and Societal Advancement in Katsina (NCSOSACK), led by Hamisa Batsari.

On Monday, the defence headquarters (DHQ) said 800 former Boko Haram fighters who surrendered to the military are currently undergoing deradicalisation for onward reintegration into society.

Compensating terrorists & reintegrating them into Society, without prosecuting them for their criminal activities.

We are not serious in this country.

While i commend them for surrender, it is high time to amend the law to accommodate prosecution for crimes against humanity

If you like receive pardon from God, that is up to you and God. But if you killed or raped anyone during your banditry phase, expect the affected families to kill you, government amnesty or not. Duk wani tsohon dan bindiga, wallahi ku kashe dan banza da zarar ya shigo gari. An eye for an eye.

I think it's a practice in the Military that when an enemy surrenders or willingly lay down their arms, you grant amnesty.. it's a guiding principle somewhat for combatants in armed conflicts.
The problem with these ones is that they are terrorists, reintegrating them into the society is shifting doomsday forward, they'll restrategize and lay low till they can resume their terror activities on a larger scale than before.

We are truly not serious as a country.
