One of the notorious bandits leader in Niger state, Jack Bros Yellow, has been arrested by the Nigerian army.
IDOMA VOICE gathered that the gang leader was allegedly arrested from one of the forests between Shiroro and Rafi local government.
Though, the military is yet to make public the arrest, DAILY POST reported that a source close to one the communities confirmed to them that the arrest of the bandits’ leader has greatly reduced their activities in the area in the last one week.
According to the source, as a result of the development, other members of the gangs causing havoc on the people have gone into hiding.
“Jack Bros Yellow is the leader of one of the three groups of bandits that are operating around Shiroro, Rafi and Munya local government area,” DAILY POST quoted the source as saying.
“Jack Bros Yellow is among those who asked some communities to pay N3million for peace to reign but when the money was paid, the other gang leaders short-changed him and his boys came and kidnapped about nine women from Galape village after Galkogo, Shiroro local government in January this year.”
“He demanded ransom of N10million for the release of those women, and they are still under his custody since that January 5th until his arrest last week, but we are yet to see the women.”
