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.Travel guides for Nigeria

He was the arrowhead of a deadly raid on Kadisau, a community in the Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State, where about 52 people were killed.

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.

People who are ordinarily should be rooten behind bars are outside negotiating with the government for amnesty and freedom funny enough is that not a military official holding and video camering the the event I weep for this country.

You're are harbouring and constantly in contact with this known BANDITS,, why cry out for help when they attack you ??

Imagine someone who's on a wanted list freely negotiating terms with both government and community,,

They can keep their useless bounty of 5M

This notorious bandit leader may become may one day contest for governorship position in either Katsina or zamfara state.

He had already been conferred a chieftaincy title and now seen holding peace talk with community members and government officials .

Na small small e dey start

A bandit who has killed Nigerians should not be given the courtesy to enter into any kind of negotiations. What kind of negotiations can even be fair in this instance? If this people reject his ideas he will come back and kill them. FG is showing they are in bed with these people. Even our military which these terrorists slaughter are there present. What a betrayal to our military people and risk they put their lives under to fight these same people.

Hmmm. What a life.

Army man is the one videoing a criminal.

One Nijeriya! Something is fundamentally wrong with the way some of our leaders reason!

Has the devil ever repented? An evil entity will always remain an evil entity.

The no get choice than to obey because the govt has failed them

This is so unwise, they're making the biggest mistake of their lives. Hmmmm... I weep for them. I never see anyone of them wey genuinely repent, they're playing with fire.

Ado Alero that has never kept and y of his peace agreement yet the Nigerian military is there shining teeth with him instead of destroying him and his men .. yhe govt is clearly complicit

You have said it all , the govt is clearly in bed with them

This man should be arrested already. What sort of ignorance is this?

The last time I checked, he is a criminal.

Seems North is a distinct country on its own. If it was to be in the South East, would they have been negotiating with a wanted criminal

Just imagine rubbish? And they are still holding Nnamdi Kanu in detention and taking him to court?

All Igbo political leaders and leaders of thought should unanimously call for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu.
