A combined team of security operatives and vigilance group members has successfully eliminated the notorious Lakurawa kingpin, Maigemu, in Kebbi State.
Intelligence sources confirmed to Zagazola Makama that Maigemu met his end on Thursday at Kuncin Baba in Arewa Local Government Area, a remote location known for its challenging terrain. The operation, marked by a fierce gun battle, ended with the neutralization of the feared criminal leader.
This breakthrough comes just a week after Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris, visited Bagiza and Rausa Kade communities in Arewa LGA to console residents over the killing of six people by suspected Lakurawa cattle rustlers.
“During the governor’s visit, he assured the affected communities of immediate security reinforcement and strategic measures to tackle criminal activities in the area. Today, his proactive approach has yielded results with the elimination of this kingpin. His corpse is available as evidence,” an intelligence source disclosed.
Residents have hailed the operation as a significant step in restoring peace to the troubled region, as security forces continue their crackdown on criminal elements.
