The Katsina State Police Command, Monday, said a notorious bandit leader who just bagged a chieftaincy title as Sarkin Fulani (Chief of Fulanis), Ado Aleru, is still on its wanted list.
The command spokesperson, Gambo Isah, disclosed this to Channels Television in a telephone conversation while reacting to the chieftaincy title recently conferred on Aleru in Zamfara State.
The Emir of Yandoto Daji, one of the newly created emirates in Zamfara, Aliyu Marafa, had turbaned Aleru as Sarkin Fulani (Chief of Fulanis) in a bid to forestall attacks by non-state armed groups on his territory.
Commenting on the development, Isah explained that the command had declared Aleru wanted for crimes such as culpable homicide, terrorism, armed robbery, and kidnapping in Katsina.
According to him, the bandit is also wanted for the killing of over 100 residents of Kadisau village in Faskari Local Government Area of the state.
It would be recalled that the Katsina State Police Command, in late June, declared Aleru wanted and placed a N5 million bounty either dead or alive
The suspect is accused to be a notorious leader of groups of bandits terrorising communities in Katsina and Zamfara states.
